Introduction

Rare pair of original FB-05 and FB-06 lounge chairs designed by Dutch designer Cees Braakman for Pastoe in the 1950s. These iconic models represent the early era of post-war modernism in the Netherlands and are highly sought after for their sculptural wooden frames and timeless comfort.

Appearance and functionality

Both chairs feature beautifully curved bentwood armrests and legs in warm birch wood, combined with deep dark upholstery that enhances their elegant contrast. The FB-05 comes with a slightly higher backrest, while the FB-06 has a lower, more compact profile — together creating a harmonious and balanced duo. Perfect for a reading corner, living room, or gallery space.
