A new addition to the hospitable family: the favorite armchair for round tables has a swivel base and is also available in a bar version. Box seat: The D8P has long since become the epitome of stylish, comfortable dining. Now designer Martin Hirth has further developed the product range: the comfortable chair is now dedicated to a swivel base and a high-legged bar variant. Both are distinguished by the fact that they turn to face their seat neighbors at lightning speed and allow bump-free entry and exit. Thought of as an inviting restaurant chair, the D8P is successfully embraced today. „That was the plan, and the fact that it ultimately happens that way is great, of course,“ says designer Martin Hirth. In the summer of 2017, Hirth began developing the chair, which would also cite the idea of the cantilevered armrest characteristic of Walter Gropius‘ F51. „For me, the F51 epitomizes Bauhaus furniture par excellence. I wanted to transfer its silhouette and charisma into a chair,“ Martin Hirth recounts. The success of the new chair was reason enough to follow the former idea plan. „The D8P should be able to be equipped with different frames, that was linked to the basic idea of the design from the beginning,“ says Hirth. The round geometry of the seat is predestined for a swivel base. As the D8P-1 variant, the comfortable chair now turns open-mindedly toward its table neighbors.
