The chair seems to float more than anything else, which is really incredible given all those criss-crossed wires. I bet it's really strong and can take weight well.

The chairs were magenta, I think, and they added just the right degree of pizazz to an otherwise stodgy room. Very neat effect, all in all.

But there is something about that jewel-toned hard plastic that suggests "severe burns." I'd keep these under a tree or an awning. And, as Twistie says, that bowl chair in the last picture could very well be of '70s vintage. My junior high had a set of orange ones in the drama classroom, for some reason. They were really uncomfortable, actually. Oooh, pretty! But there is something about that jewel-toned hard plastic that suggests “severe burns.” I’d keep these under a tree or an awning.

The family of a good friend of mine had almost those precise chairs sitting around a white plastic table in the kitchen back then. Yes, they even had the orange cushions.
