Bauhaus Chrome Leather Dining Chairs SM07 by Cees Braakman for Pastoe, 1960s, Set of 4
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.
- Brand / model: UMS Pastoe – SM07
- Designer: Cees Braakman
- Quantity: Set of 4
- Materials: Chrome-plated steel frames, black leatherette upholstery (original)

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.
