The young deceased Sándor Borz Kováts (1940–1973) was one of the most talented Hungarian designers of the second half of the past century. However most of his furniture designs have never been mass-produced, they exist only as prototypes. Considering its construction and form the red armchair is an outstanding work and it was fabricated by Borz himself. It is made of molded fiberglass, with a technology that is often used for boat building. The chair does not follow any particular model but evokes the spirit of contemporary Italian design.
