This chair was designed and manufactured by Kusch+Co, a German furniture company, in the 1980s. The design features a distinctive black wood backrest, chrome-plated tubular steel legs, and a red upholstered seat, reflecting the modernist aesthetic popular during this period. Kusch+Co chairs from this era are appreciated for their combination of durability, ergonomic design, and visual appeal. These chairs are sought after by collectors of late 20th century furniture design and interior designers looking for authentic pieces from this period. The bold color combination and minimalist form make it a representative example of 1980s commercial and institutional furniture design.
