These Forum II chairs from the Horgen Glarus furniture factory exemplify the Swiss design tradition, where functionality, precision, and timeless form unite. Originally conceived for use in public spaces, schools, and multi-purpose halls, the model is characterized by its robust construction and clean lines.
The seat and backrest are made of molded beechwood, which retains its natural grain and is finished with a warm, transparent lacquer. The seat shell is ergonomically shaped with a gently rounded front edge, ensuring comfortable seating. The frame is made of chrome-plated tubular steel, making the chair exceptionally stable and stackable. The slightly reclined backrest emphasizes the functional yet harmonious lines of the design.
These chairs represent high-quality Swiss contract furniture production of the late 20th century – minimalist in design, durable in construction, and aesthetically clear. The simple contrast between warm wood and cool chrome underscores the understated, modern character typical of Horgen Glarus, one of Switzerland's oldest and most renowned furniture manufacturers.
Condition: The chairs are in good, well-maintained condition with minor signs of wear. The wood shows a few scratches and small dents, and the chrome exhibits minimal signs of age and stacking. Overall, the chairs are sturdy, fully functional, and have a beautiful, even patina.
