Sonett Series Chairs by Karl Fostel [8]

An elegant reflection of postwar Austrian design, these Sonett Series wicker chairs from Karl Fostel Senior’s Erben, circa 1950, offer a rare glimpse into the refined craftsmanship and understated modernism of mid-century Central Europe. Known for their high-quality bentwood and wicker furniture, Fostel’s workshop produced durable, elegant pieces that bridged traditional technique with modern form.

These chairs feature steel frames, complemented by handwoven wicker seats and backrests that provide both comfort and breathability. The design balances lightness and structure, with clean lines that make them equally suited for dining or occasional seating.

With their subtle Art Deco echoes and modernist restraint, the Sonett Series embodies a transitional moment in European furniture design—where artisanal quality met emerging postwar tastes for simplicity and function.

In very good vintage condition with a beautiful patina to the wood and minor age-appropriate wear to the wicker. A rare and collectible find for admirers of mid-century Austrian design.
