This set is in well-used and maintained condition with few signs of wear; given the age, it is still very collectible! Drevounia (often in collaboration with the export brand Ligna) was a Czech-Slovak state trading company (Podnik zahraničného obchodu, PZO) responsible for exporting timber and furniture products abroad during the communist period (especially from the 1950s to 1990). Today the name is worldwide known on vintage and design markets mainly for the mid-century bentwood chairs that were exported under this label. The role of Drevounia: Drevounia itself was not a furniture manufacturer, but a centralized import-export company of the state. Furniture traded through them often carried a paper label or sticker reading "Drevounia - Made in Czechoslovakia". • Real manufacturers: The chairs were produced in nationalized Czechoslovak furniture factories. The best known of these was TON (Bystřice pod Hostýnem), the original and historic factory of the world-famous furniture maker Michael Thonet which was nationalized by the communist regime after World War II. • Popular designs: Through Drevounia many iconic designs were spread worldwide, including the classic Vienna café chairs, Thonet models No. 209 and No. 210 (favorites of architect Le Corbusier), and Josef Hoffmann-inspired designs. Dimensions of these 2 billiard-, pub-, bistro chairs are: 45 cm wide, 86+87 cm high, 43 cm deep, and the seat height is 46 cm, This super cool chair set is in solid condition, good for many more years of use.
