Product description
The set of two office chairs was designed by Herbert Hirche for the German manufacturer Mauser during the 1970s.The frame was made from solid anodized aluminum tubulars and it is characteristic for Mausers design. The upholstery is original and is in brow color. The seat is located on belts.
Herbert Hirche was a significant figure in German post-war design, known for his minimalist and functional approach. He designed furniture for various manufacturers, including Mauser Werke Waldeck, creating pieces that embodied the principles of modernism. His work was characterized by elegant forms, innovative use of materials, and a focus on ergonomics and comfort, making his designs highly sought after by collectors.
The history of the Mauser company dates back to 1896, when Alfons Mauser opened a factory for metal products - Zaunkönig. In 1903, Mauser also developed hermetic, lockable iron sheet steel drums for the chemical and petroleum industries, which became known as the Mauser Patent Barrels. From 1930, the Mauser-Werke company produced chairs made of cantilevered steel pipes according to its own designs. The Mauser offered desks, conference tables, club tables, and filing cabinets. The Waldeck factory produced tubular steel seating elements such as single chairs and multi-seat club benches. In the early 1950s, the Mauser-Libelle seating furniture, designed by Walter Papst, appeared on the market and became design icons of the post-war period. Furniture in the Mid-Century Modern style, which Mauser has been producing since 1929, is today a sought-after design classic. In 1997, Mauser was still considered the leading-size furniture manufacturer in Germany.
The set are in original vintage condition. There are minor marks on the original upholstery. The seat height is 42 cm.
