A striking 1970s New Zealand-made dining suite by Namco (National Art Metal Company Ltd). This rare set comprises four swivel dining chairs with flared moulded plastic backs, original rust-orange upholstery, and chrome pedestal star bases. The matching circular dining table features a simulated wood laminate top with a chrome trim and central pedestal base. Well-built, stylish, and iconic of local mid-century production. Manufacturer’s label remains affixed beneath the chair base.
Namco was a leading commercial furniture maker in New Zealand during the 1960s–70s, known for supplying durable, modernist furnishings to government departments and institutions.
