AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of Hans Eichenberger for Girsberger Eurochair “Typ 1600” lounge chairs in chromed flat steel and black leather with a quilted seam, Germany 1970s.
Very comfortable to sit.
The FK Lounge embodies this exact attitude. The elegant, shell-shaped seat form combines purist design with excellent comfort. The generous padding and soft leather create a relaxed seating experience, while the ergonomically formed shell provides secure support. The iconic three-legged swiveling base, polished aluminum, achieves a delicate, almost floating appearance – a hallmark of the designers.
Today, the FK Lounge is regarded as a modern classic that gives a special touch to living rooms, reception areas, or high-end office lounges. It blends Walter Knoll’s craftsmanship with the design heritage of two notable designers – and offers design enthusiasts a piece of furniture with real history and lasting value.

The third- and fourth-to-last photos show the two chairs with others in brown leather, which we offer in a separate lot.
The last two photos show the chair as a low recliner, which is wider and is also offered in its own lot.
As we deal in vintage furniture, signs of wear are inevitable and part of the nature of used items. We therefore point out only more significant blemishes and damages with separate photos. We strive to capture the condition of the objects as accurately as possible, to the best of our knowledge.
The goods are subject to the margin scheme under § 25a UStG; VAT is not shown separately on the invoice.
Seller's Story
Since we can remember we felt attracted to beauty and exceptional things. Aesthetic has always been more than something superficial for us. It was something magic going much deeper than the surface, creating positive feelings and energies.
Harmonies, sacred proportions, colors and materials combined with time, create their very special energies and are mostly things that hardly can be described but always can be felt.
To define beauty would be far to philosophical, but we think, if something touches you by the way it looks and gives you good energy at the same time, then it would define our personal definition of beauty.
And if beauty is something that has no other purpose than making you feel good just by the way it looks, then beauty is something we surely do not want to miss in our lives.
We thank existence for giving us all those unique materials and designs and all the talented designers and craftsmen for bringing their visions and abilities to life and sharing it, to bring us purpose combined with joy.
We are glad to have the platform Catawiki where we can share our passion for extraordinary and beautiful things with like-minded people.
