Frans van Praet (Belgium, 1937) for Val Saint Lambert: a crystal stool for the 1992 Seville expo

Dim.: 44 x 39,5 x 34,5 cm

The Belgian Pavilion at the Seville World EXPO '92 was considered to be one of the four most attractive presentations. More than 2,4 million persons visited in six months the site. The interiour of the Pavilion was designed by Frans Van Praet, famous for his "Sevilla Chair" in crystal. All chairs are numbered. This one is numbered 38/50. Only 50 chairs were made for the expo. Val St Lambert wanted to show all their techniques, so this chair is acid-etched, gilded, cut and engraved.
