About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This Wilkhahn Basis modular bench embodies the excellence of German industrial design. Designed to offer both comfort and functionality, it stands out with its clean lines and cleverly integrated side table, ideal for waiting areas or contemporary interiors.
The structure rests on a robust chrome-plated metal base, supporting two generously padded seats upholstered in black leather. A circular black-stained wooden tabletop completes the ensemble, providing a practical surface while maintaining the room's visual harmony. The meticulous craftsmanship and high-quality materials attest to Wilkhahn's expertise.
This bench is in good overall condition, retaining all its character and functionality. The leather has a natural patina that adds to its authentic charm, while the metal frame maintains its original shine.
This modular bench from the "Basis" series was designed by Klaus Franck and Werner Sauer for the renowned German company Wilkhahn in the 1980s. It is distinguished by its iconic architectural and modernist design, characterized by a clean, geometric silhouette and a unique asymmetrical configuration that combines seating and functional space.
The structure is made of robust, die-cast steel and high-quality metal profiles, resting on a heavy, graphic base typical of German industrial rigor. The configuration features two suspended seats with firm comfort, fully upholstered in their original black leather, as well as an integrated side table that serves as a connecting coffee table. The official Wilkhahn manufacturer's mark is present under the structure, attesting to its authenticity and high-end German provenance.
The overall condition is excellent, reflecting careful use over the decades. The premium black leather has been fully conditioned and retains superb suppleness and a beautiful natural patina, without any tears or loose stitching. The metal frame and the side table remain perfectly sound and functional.
This bench integrates seamlessly into a modernist, minimalist, or contemporary interior. It is ideally suited to a prestigious entrance hall, a professional office, a concept store, or a large, uncluttered living room, offering both a unique seating solution and a striking visual presence.
