Swivel Chair by Egon Eiermann

The favourite of many architects

Longevity has a name. The original concept – adapted to the human body, functions reduced to the bare minimum, sustainability of the materials, the clear language of form – that’s how you convince your users.

No need to reinvent something really good.

The universal tool for the creative. Following the example of this swivel chair, swivel chair manufacturers began developing variants for every taste and budget. The most incredible shapes and colours with even more incredible features came and went. The S 197 stayed. Comfort reduced to the essentials.

With the Brussels frame, a five-star base with unique charm, in 1958 Egon Eiermann created a playful addition to the classic version for the World Expo in Brussels.
