Armchair

The chrome-plated metal elements of the furniture, both in their dimensions and in their design were compatible. Most important to Borz were his thinking in terms of family principles, and the creation of conditions for economic and simple production. His furniture ensembles could be disassembled down to their elements, and through this, the furniture was easily producible, transportable, and packable. The prototypes for the first two pieces of the stand furniture family were produced in 1970, while the manufacture of their tools and the 0 series date to 1971.
The armchair was produced with two types of upholstery, noisette brown corduroy or leatherwork, in which the banded fine grain resembled goatskin.
Sándor Borz Kováts showed his steel-tube furniture and Vargánya (‘Cep’) lamp series at a 1972 exhibition, Magyar design (10 kísérlet) (Hungarian Design – 10 Experiments), which was curated by Mihály Pohárnok and was on view at Fészek Művészklub between 18 and 29 October. The display presented ten works by eight designers: Sándor Borz Kováts; Gyöngyvér Deák, née Blazsek; László Horváth; Maja Jahoda; Mária Minya; Gabriella Semsey; György Soltész; and Károly Szekeres. The significance of the event lies in the fact that its success was an inspiration for the establishment of the Prefab Kitchen Programme.
