Description
Automatic translation from Danish.
Piet Hein (1905-1996). A set of three barstools, model 9511, with a frame of chromed steel tubing, mounted on a round aluminum base. H. 80 cm. Designed by Piet Hein in 1961. Manufactured by Fritz Hansen in 1971 with a label from this company. There are signs of wear on the base, scratches and marks. Professionally reupholstered with cognac-colored aniline leather. Aniline leather is made from rawhide. The leather basically has a completely natural bare surface, where all natural marks are visible. This helps to emphasize the character of the leather. The leather is full-grain, which means that the natural surface structure is preserved. Aniline leather changes over time through use and exposure to light and quickly acquires a natural patina.
