Concept
status is the comfortable evolution of the compact, straight miro chair. Its seat is wider and deeper, its backrest higher.
Hannes Wettstein used his sensitivity for shapes, dimensions, and proportions to create a truly coherent design of confident discreet elegance. Its fitted backrest makes the angular status an expressive statement, as can be seen at the St. Gallen Federal Administrative Court. Thanks to its recessed armrest, status seats you excellently at the table. status is available in different versions—without or with upholstery, without or with armrests; and last but not least, this wooden chair is easy to stack.

Hannes Wettstein
Switzerland
Hannes Wettstein (1958-2008) Hannes Wettstein was one of the most influential Swiss designers. Even his career path corresponded to someone who didn’t go by the rule book: Wettstein, born in 1958 in Ascona, first completed studies in building draughtsmanship; his further training as designer and architect was autodidactic. He was as fascinated by technological developments as he was by art history and architecture and his manner of developing ideas always had a touch of alchemy or invention. He continually questioned norms, be they societal, industrial, cultural or ritual, in order to be able to reinvent, explained Wettstein. This comprehensiveness was not an attitude but a method. His openness to continually re-thinking all that defines design – daily routines, spatial organisation and the purposes of things – led him to surprisingly simple solutions that stand the test of time. Hannes Wettstein designed functional objects with such elegance and perfection that they took on their own identities, something that momentary fashions can never achieve. In spatial design he also created architypes: site-specific and sensitive overall solutions, interior designs or set designs.
