This mid-century easy chair is a masterful design by the renowned Bauhaus-trained architect Selman Selmanagić, dating back to 1957. Selmanagić, a prominent figure in German Democratic Republic (GDR) design, was celebrated for bringing functionalist Bauhaus principles to domestic furniture. This piece is a perfect example, featuring a distinctive sculptural wooden frame and a minimalist, ergonomic profile that offers both style and exceptional comfort.
The chair's open-arm design and tapered legs create a sense of lightness, making it a sophisticated focal point for any modernist interior.
