the chair stands out for its sculptural, almost architectural design, characterized by precise geometries and clean lines. The high, padded backrest flows seamlessly into the side armrests, creating a protected, almost embracing seating position. The reduced yet sculptural design, with all surfaces positioned at an exciting angle to one another, is striking.

the entire chair is fully upholstered in a vibrant red fabric, with the material appearing finely textured and durable in the detailed photographs. The construction is based on an inner frame that is softly padded and upholstered all around. The legs, or base, are part of the armrests that extend down to the sides and are also padded – this gives the chair a monolithic yet slightly futuristic appearance.

particularly characteristic is the "open back," in which a horizontal upholstered element acts as a connecting bridge between the two side sections – functionally and aesthetically, a kind of backrest crosspiece.

the cup chair was originally conceived as a lounge or conference chair, but is equally suitable for modern living and reception areas. The design reflects eric degenhardt's typical interplay of understated aesthetics and technical sophistication.

condition: the chair is in very good condition overall. The upholstery is taut and retains its shape, and the covers show only minimal signs of wear, such as slightly visible discoloration or pressure marks on the seat in one area. There are no tears, stains, or open seams. The construction is stable, and the fabric edges are well-preserved. The overall impression is well-maintained and of high quality.
