ABOUT PRODUCTID 2605
This set of six aluminum chairs designed by H. Ell for Kusch & Co., produced in Germany in the 1970s, exemplifies the late modernist approach to furniture: clean geometric lines, slender, gently tapered legs with visible screw fittings, and satin-brushed aluminum frames lend the group a distinctly industrial yet orderly character. The seat and back upholstery comes in a deep charcoal gray, with a matte, subtly textured finish that suggests a durable wool or synthetic blend. The ergonomically contoured seats and backrests, combined with the practical stackable design, reinforce the set’s functional credentials. Awarded the prestigious iF product design award in 1974, the chairs’ proportions—74 cm overall height, 50 cm width and depth, seat height 45 cm—underscore their versatility. The set is preserved in excellent vintage condition, with no visible damage or signs of heavy use; upholstery is taut and clean, aluminum frames are free from dents and scratches. These chairs resonate with the voice of the 1970s, a time when German design embraced clarity and utility, favoring pure form over ornamentation. The satin aluminum subtly reflects light, while the cool gray fabric evokes the atmosphere of contemporary offices and public spaces—settings where design was meant to serve daily life rather than command attention. Each chair seems to declare: “I am here to accompany work, conversation, and focus, maintaining a restrained, industrial charm.” The set would suit a minimalist living or dining area, especially when paired with raw materials such as concrete, glass, or natural wood.
