Designed in 1949, it impresses with its balanced proportions, slightly forward-tilting seat, and characteristically curved backrest, which combines ergonomic comfort with a minimalist, timeless design language. Made of molded plywood combined with solid beechwood and elastic rubber elements, the chair displays a warm yellowish-brown to brown wood tone with a visibly vibrant grain. The construction appears light and precise, yet remains stable and practical for everyday use – a typical characteristic of eiermann's early designs for wilde & spieth.
