ABOUT PRODUCTID 2346
This office chair, designed by Egon Eiermann for Wilde & Spieth in the 1950s, exemplifies German mid-century modernism with its focus on function and distinctive industrial aesthetics. The construction features a chromed steel frame with four elegantly arched legs, each ending in light-colored synthetic feet. The seat and backrest are crafted from plywood and upholstered in a matte wool fabric, presenting a deep grey with an undertone of dark green. The visible height adjustment mechanism (43–54 cm), operated by a black knob beneath the seat, and exposed screws and joints reinforce the utilitarian logic of the 1950s. The chair is in good vintage condition, displaying a patina on the metal, minor scratches, and typical signs of use, yet without major damage. The chair’s form and materials speak to an era where ergonomics and durability were equated with modernity. Its minimalist silhouette and gently contoured backrest suggest care for user comfort, while industrial details—screws, the rawness of steel, and honest construction—evoke the postwar spirit of optimism and belief in technical progress. Even decades later, this piece seems to recall the industrious offices and creative studios of the 1950s, where every furnishing was designed to serve both practicality and visual order. The chair may be paired with a mid-century modern desk—ideally in light wood or metal
