Pair of « FM62 » Armchairs by Radboud van Beekum for Pastoe, 1980s

Description

In the 1980s, Dutch design favored exposed structure and constructive logic. The “FM62” model fully embodies this approach. Designed by Radboud van Beekum for Pastoe , this armchair rests on a cubic frame of matte gray lacquered steel. The tubular sections and cylindrical joints are intentionally visible. The seat and backrest are made of wide cognac leather straps stretched between the uprights. The leather forms a supple curve, suspended within the structure, offering straightforward and immediate comfort. This pair has a beautiful patina.

The cognac leather reveals natural nuances, slightly darker areas, and some visible signs of wear, consistent with age. The metal structure is stable, with minor surface marks that do not affect its sturdiness. Each armchair measures 66 cm high, 61 cm wide and 67 cm deep. Compact proportions, suitable for a living room, library or reception area. A coherent set for an architectural interior or a collection attentive to Dutch design of the 80s.
