Italian Post-Modern “Condor” Stools by Andries & Hiroko Van Onck for Magis, 1980s

Sculptural Italian Bar Stools in Metal and Plastic

Designed by Andries & Hiroko Van Onck for Magis in the 1980s, the “Condor” stool exemplifies bold Post-Modern Italian design. With their ribbed plastic seats and geometric metal frames, these stools combine sculptural form with everyday functionality, standing as a true reflection of late-20th-century innovation.

Distinctive Post-Modern form

The stools’ cream molded plastic seat and backrest create a striking contrast against the sleek black metal frame, offering both visual rhythm and durability. Their angular silhouette highlights the playful yet architectural spirit of Post-Modernism, while the integrated footrest detail ensures practical comfort. Perfect for bars, kitchens, or creative interiors, they remain as relevant today as when first introduced.

The Van Oncks and Italian design heritage

Andries Van Onck (1928–2018) trained at Ulm’s Hochschule für Gestaltung, working with Olivetti and shaping the industrial design language of the mid-20th century. Together with Hiroko Takeda Van Onck, he established a Milan studio in 1972, producing pioneering designs for Magis and other leading Italian manufacturers. Their work embodies a balance of precision, material experimentation, and artistic flair, making these stools highly collectible examples of their design legacy.
