Hannes chair by Eliel Saarinen
A rare and elegant “Hannes” chair originally designed by Eliel Saarinen in 1908, here produced in Finland by Adelta Oy in 1983.
The design reflects Saarinen’s early modern approach, blending architectural clarity with refined craftsmanship. The chair features a strong geometric frame with subtly flared back supports and a distinctive central back splat, giving it a balanced and sculptural presence.
The round seat is fitted with woven cane, adding warmth and lightness while providing comfortable support. The contrast between the dark-stained wooden frame and the natural cane enhances the chair’s visual appeal.
The underside retains its original manufacturer’s label, confirming the model, designer, and production details—an important feature for collectors.
Dimentions:
Width: 22 in (55 cm) Depth: 20 in (50 cm) Height: 31 in (80 cm)
Condition:
Good vintage condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use. The cane seat appears well preserved.
