SE 05
SE 05
Dining chair SE 05 is designed by Martin Visser in 1960, covered with natural rattan. The frames are made of matt chrome-plated metal. Since 2016 the frame is also available in black powder-coating. Due to more and more problems with buying a good quality of rattan, this material was replaced by artificial rattan in the mid 80’s. This also made it possible to offer more colors of (artificial) rattan. However the demand for natural rattan always remained existing.
Nowadays (since the end of the nineties) all dining chairs from Martin Visser, designed around 1960, have a different seat height compared to the original design. In general the average length of people is taller than 45 years ago, which made it ergonomically unjustified to maintain the old seat height. The frame is raised with 3 cm, which makes it 48 cm. high at the front part of the frame.
In the same range also a version with saddle leather (SE 06), plywood seat and back, finished with oak veneer (SE 08) or upholstery (SE 07) is available.
