It is a model from the well-known "6200" series, which impresses with its functional, modular design and the typical materials of the period.

the construction is characterized by a reduced, geometric design language. Four cylindrical legs made of dark-stained oak support a simple, solid seat consisting of wide, diagonally interwoven cords.

this traditional technique not only gives the seat a striking appearance but also a pleasant elasticity and stability. The backrest consists of two curved, also dark-stained cross braces, which run slightly diagonally and provide ergonomic support for the back. The armrests are visually and structurally harmonious with the backrest elements and complete the clean lines of the design.

a special feature of this model is the matching footrest, which is precisely coordinated with the chair in terms of style and material. It, too, is made of dark-stained wood with rounded legs and a flat, centrally positioned support surface. This addition not only enhances comfort but also underscores haussmann's holistic design approach.

the original manufacturer's sticker, bearing the inscription "chairs from stein am rhein," is located on the back of the backrest and confirms the authenticity and origin of the piece. This piece of furniture testifies to the high quality craftsmanship and timeless design understanding of mid-century modern in switzerland.

condition: the chair and footrest are in very good vintage condition. The structure is stable, the wicker seat is taut and free of sagging. The wooden frame shows occasional age-related signs of wear, such as small scratches or edge wear, which, however, do not detract from the harmonious overall appearance and underline the authentic character of the ensemble. The manufacturer's sticker is partially preserved and legible.
