Material : Vinyl, steel, resin, fiberglassle  The K1 chair was part of Alpha International’s first furniture collection for private interiors, launched in 1966. Maurice Calka was selected to design the initial pieces, preceding later collaborations with designers such as Pierre Paulin and Joseph-André Motte. This example is a rare variant of the K1 chair, more commonly found with the circular “DS wheel” base. It features a resin and fiberglass shell, upholstered in polyvinyl stretched over latex foam, resting on a chromed steel base known as the “Tour Eiffel.” Calka drew inspiration for this structure from the work of Charles and Ray Eames, whom he greatly admired. As of this listing, the only other known example of this variant is part of the Centre Pompidou collection, donated to the national museum by the artist’s family. Surface wear consistent with age and use. Good vintage and structural condition.
