These turquoise Z chairs are irresistible European-designed vintage chairs. The company offering them, be-dsgn, specializes in Belgian [vintage furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chandigarh-chair)--not only pieces designed by well-known names such as Hendrickx, Van der Meeren and De Bruyne, but also qualitative but anonymous designers in smaller firms.

The Z chairs come in a set of four and are made of [chrome and fabric](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-two-alike) with z-shaped chrome legs. Display the Z chairs in a line for a snooze-worthy giggle or side by side to catch a few Zs.
