Eiermann was not only appreciated as an architect,
he also had a strong and lasting influence on the coming generation in furniture design. Eiermann was the first to develop mass-produced furniture in Germany after the Second World War that could match international standards in terms of form and functionality. It is thanks to him that Germany, after the phase of National Socialist isolation, was able to connect with its past and join the circle of outstanding design nations. In 1953, Egon Eiermann designed the Eiermann 1 counterframe with angled crossbeams at the same level. His other groundbreaking designs include the steel tube chair SE 68, the wicker chair E 10, the wooden folding chair SE 18, and the church chair SE 121, which still stand in the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche in Berlin today.
