Founded in 1880 as a small workshop, Horgenglarus is the oldest chair and table manufacturer in Switzerland. The company name derives from the name of its original location in Horgen, Zurich, and the expansion to Glarus in 1902. In the past, Horgenglarus produced designs by renowned architects and designers such as Hans Bellmann, Max Ernst Haefeli, Werner Max Moser, Max Bill, Trix & Robert Haussmann, and Kurt Thut. It was the Swiss furniture designer, interior architect, and designer Kurt Thut (1931–2011) who designed this rare set of four "cross-frame chairs" in 1953. The frame is made of black lacquered beechwood. The seat shell and backrest are made of stained and lacquered maple plywood. All chairs have been meticulously restored. A professional restorer stripped and sanded all the pieces, then re-stained and re-lacquered them. All joints were carefully re-glued. The set is therefore in absolutely top condition. There are hardly any signs of wear. Only one chair has four repaired spots on the seat. Here, the previous owner fixed the seat shells from above with screws. The manufacturer's label is present on the underside of all the chairs. Seat height 45 cm. This piece has an attribution mark,
