This is the G-PLAN Tola&Black series butterfly chair/early gold label embossed by E.Gomme, a representative mid-century company in the UK.
The Butterfly Chair is a rare item in the Thora & Black series, which is not widely available. The distinctive curve of the backrest not only looks good, but also fits your back securely and provides a comfortable seating experience.
Tola & Black was released in 1958. Inspired by Japanese lacquerware, this series was developed in the 1950s when black-painted furniture was popular in Europe. It has a stylish and sophisticated atmosphere, and the beautiful color of the Tola wood and the contrast with the black paint and gold of the brass plating are eye-catching. Also known as the BB (Black & Brass) series, Tola & Black is still popular today, and is a rare and valuable series that is hard to find as it is in low circulation among G-PLAN products.
The early gold labels were made between 1952 and 1965. The gold color was proof that the furniture was high quality at the time, and the label, which had previously been a stamp, was embossed with the gold logo burned directly into it.
