It combines clear functionality with a timeless aesthetic and reflects eiermann's visionary approach to furniture design. Made from molded plywood, the chair is characterized by its elegant and curved shape, which offers both visual lightness and stability. The seat and backrest are ergonomically designed to ensure high seating comfort, while the curved legs made of plywood harmoniously round off the construction.

the seat and backrest are in a subtle matt blue, which has developed a charming patina over time. The legs made of natural wood offer a warm contrast, making the chair a versatile piece of furniture. Visible signs of wear such as minor scratches and scuffs underline the authenticity of this original piece and give it additional character.

condition: the chair is in used vintage condition, meaning it shows typical signs of wear that give it a unique charm. The seat and backrest have light scratches and wear, particularly on the edges, as well as a subtle patina on the blue finish indicating years of use. However, these traces are part of the authenticity and history of the chair and underline its vintage character.

the wooden legs are stable and well preserved, but show scratches and dents that have occurred over time. These signs of wear in no way affect the functionality of the chair, but rather contribute to its unique appearance. The chair's construction remains strong and reliable, ensuring it continues to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
