Pastoe SM07 Dining Chairs (Set of 4) by Cees Braakman - Dutch Modernist

A definitive set of four Pastoe SM07 dining chairs, designed by Cees Braakman for UMS Pastoe (Utrecht), a key name in Dutch Modernism. The SM07 is admired for its architectural restraint: slim, geometric and quietly confident, with a Bauhaus-inspired clarity that feels just as relevant in a 2026 minimalist or brutalist interior as it did when first produced. Unlike bulkier mid-century seating, these chairs keep a light visual footprint, ideal for compact dining spaces or a clean-lined studio/office setting. The original chrome-plated frames have developed a genuine vintage patina, a lived-in character that collectors value because it distinguishes authentic period pieces from modern reproductions. Finished in black original leatherette, they read sharp, monochrome, and timeless. Perfect as a full dining set, and equally strong as statement seating in a workspace, boutique, or meeting room.
