... About the designer:
Egon Eiermann (1904–1970) is considered one of the most important German architects of the post-war modern period. In the 1950s, he met Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. He is often referred to in architectural literature as "The German Eames."
Egon Eiermann designed the German Pavilion for the 1958 World's Fair in Brussels. In Germany, he became particularly well-known in the field of architecture for the redesign of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in Berlin and the construction of the "Langer Eugen" (Long Eugen) building in Bonn.
He designed seating furniture primarily for Wilde & Spieth, but also for Thonet and Richard Lampert.
