Contemporary armchair H 57

For Herbert Hirche’s 100th birthday, we had a look around his home, hoping to find some hidden trea- sure. His daughter Conny still lives in his house to- day. And among all the beautiful furniture from the 1950s and 60s, we struck it rich! Suddenly the prototype of a 1957 chair (originally designed for the famous “Interbau 1956” exhibition in Berlin) appeared before us, looking rather worn but nonetheless rendering us speechless. Or, to put it more precisely: we were thrilled and immedi- ately decided to include the chair in our collection. And voilà! The H 57 chair, a design in the tradition of Saarinen and Eames, yet very much an inde- pendent character. And utterly comfortable! The chair is available with the original green cover, a velvety velour, which we also offer in charcoal and dark brown. For connoisseurs, it is also avail- able with a suede cover of the grade used in gloves and jackets. A wonderfully tactile suede split leather that quickly develops a patina, just like a suede jacket. You can also get the chair with a cover of your choice as long as the fabric has the right stress and tensile properties.
