{"product_id":"pretzel-chair","title":"Pretzel Chair","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeorge Nelson (1908–1986) is regarded as one of the most important and influential figures in American post‑war design. In 1952, his New York studio developed a chair made of moulded plywood, initially referred to as the Laminated Chair. The distinctive curve of its backrest and armrests, however, soon earned it the nickname Pretzel Chair. Owing to the limitations of manufacturing technologies at the time, the complex design proved difficult to produce and was withdrawn from the programme after only a few years—making it a sought‑after collector’s item today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo mark Nelson’s 100th birthday, Vitra launched a limited re‑edition of 1,000 numbered chairs in 2008. Advances in manufacturing technology made it possible to preserve the chair’s organic form while optimising its structural stability. Today, the Pretzel Chair is considered a highly desirable collector’s piece, and the re‑edition represents an important milestone in the history of Mid‑Century design. The example offered in this auction bears the number 1\/1000.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"George Nelson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52996870897931,"sku":null,"price":1750.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0485\/6522\/3577\/files\/product-cards_0001_pretzel-chair.jpg?v=1776325361","url":"https:\/\/campus.vitracircle.com\/en\/products\/pretzel-chair","provider":"Vitra Circle Store Campus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
