SE 42 3-Legged Chair

As the first piece of furniture jointly developed by Egon Eiermann and Wilde + Spieth, the SE 42 3-Legged Chair distinguishes itself with a unique three-legged frame consisting completely of moulded wood—a complex design that, together with Eiermann’s aspiration to keep the bending radius of the seat front to a minimum, challenged the limits of the production techniques upon realisation. Seventy years after its first appearance, the chair stands its ground as a modern classic with its fluid curves and assured stature. SE 42 is available in natural beech and stained black.

Design: Egon Eiermann, 1949
