Designer O.F Blaha
Netherlands 1960s
A sculptural masterpiece of postwar Dutch design, the “Koala” Chair by O.F. Blaha captures the spirit of experimentation and craftsmanship that defined the 1960s.
Constructed entirely from solid elm wood, this rare piece exudes both strength and warmth through its architectural composition and tactile natural finish.
The chair’s distinctive spine-like structure—composed of rhythmic, radiating dowels—embraces the sitter in a dynamic interplay of form and function. Its organic geometry and monumental presence make it as much a statement of art as a piece of furniture.
An exceptional collector’s item, the Koala Chair exemplifies the bold inventiveness of mid-century Dutch design, balancing precision engineering with sculptural freedom. The chair is sold without a cushion.
