Instantly recognisable in its distinctive silhouette, Egon Eiermann’s SE 68 Multipurpose Chair continues to quietly claim its status as a Mid-century icon. A tubular steel frame complements an organically shaped seat and backrest made of moulded wood—SE 68 was the first chair model in Germany to combine these materials. To give furniture a ‘human dimension’ was Eiermann’s goal, and as all those who have experienced the chair’s ergonomic comfort can attest to, no-one fulfilled this aim as elegantly as the prescient architect himself. SE 68 can be customised with upholstery and armrests on request.
