AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The ARCH CHAIR is Martin Hirth’s delicate interpretation of a leather armchair. Its minimalist frame and taut leather surface give it its archetypal appearance. The metal arches are designed to provide a high level of comfort through their gentle springing effect. A single piece of vegetable-tanned cowhide forms the flowing, continuous seat and backrest. Its special suspension allows for various seating positions and adapts individually to the body. At the armrests and backrest, the approximately 3 mm-thick leather is folded over and stitched in a matching color. Each naturally finished leather surface has its own character, is drum-dyed and left unfinished along the edges. The slender arches and disc base made of powder-coated steel can rotate independently of one another. The ARCH CHAIR is versatile, inviting you to linger, read or daydream, and quickly becoming a favorite spot.

INFORMATION: The armchair is one of the first prototypes. The frame has small scratches and minor damage to the powder-coated surface. The leather has been newly fitted and is in perfect condition. You can find the exact dimensions in the photos. You will receive the armchair shown in photos 8–15.
