A Rare molded fiberglass chair by Canadian designer Stefan Siwinski. Made in Canada, 1967. Catalogue photos are from Moebel Interior Design, 1967.
Design in Canada, Rachel Gotleib and Cora Golden
Born in Poland in 1918, Stefan Siwinski relocated to Canada in 1952 and opened a small shop, sometimes called Korina Designs. He and his ten craftsmen made truly modern furniture out of a variety of materials, including plastic, metal, and wood. One of his first designs was this “playful” 3-legged dining chair that combined “Scandinavian organic modern with Pop imagery.” (Gotlieb & Golden, p. 91).
