Description:
Seat Glass fibre-reinforced polyester Red
Back Glass fibre-reinforced polyester Red
Frame Steel White
With clear contours and sophisticated details, Leowald’s designs of chairs comprising a shell structure, shaped the character of Wilkhahn-specific “architect’s chairs”. In the mid-1950s, he presented a plastic structure as the “chair of the future”, that just happened to come true: due to much high flexibility performance, his glass fibre-reinforced seat shells were considerably more comfortable that Charles Eames’ “plastic chairs”, designed for Herman Miller.
The 2002 model with a four-legged steel tube frame marked the first and simplest example of an extensive chair family.
Dimensions:
Seat height 46 cm
Overall height 80 cm
Width 52 cm
Depth 50 cm
List price 73.50 DM (Price List 38 – 1950s)
Production period:
from 1954 to 1966
