A selection of five armchairs and two tables stemming from the 'Farmer Series' by legendary designer Gerd Lange for German manufacturer Cor. In a truly innovative design moment ahead of its' time, the items are assembled by the user in a very straightforward and simple manner.
The self-assembly design is a key feature, no screws needed, and easily dismountable at any time.
As there is no traditional fixture to the chairs, the structure features a slight swing, allowing it to adapt to the users' seating position.

Originally designed in 1965, later discontinued and then reintroduced in 2021.
The items seen here are vintage, stemming from its' original production run.

"8 pieces of wood, 4 square rods, 2 fabric panels. All built strictly at right angles. The fabric panels are laid crosswise. 2 metal clamps. Done. T**he first phenomenon is that such minimalist components when put together produce such a laid-back piece of furniture. The second is that it looks as if it has just been created. Designer Gerd Lange came up with the identical predecessor of the Farmer chair back in 1965.
**DIY from the days when DIY did not yet exist."

Important to note: the structure of the chairs seems wobbly compared to factory-assembled chairs of the same type, however this is a consequence of its' self-assembly design.
