Eugen Schmidt leather armchair, 1960

A typical lounge chair by Eugen Schmidt, featuring a solid construction and elegant, classic lines. The chair is made of black leather, which, thanks to the patina acquired over time, gives it a special aura. The reinforced armrests provide the chair with a substantial presence, making it a striking focal point in any room. The chrome frame is in perfect condition, and the chair swivels smoothly. The chair was designed by German architect Eugen Schmidt, who created several iconic pieces in the 1960s for Soloform and under his own brand ES. Among other projects, Eugen Schmidt furnished the Federal Chancellery for Chancellor Helmut Schmidt with chairs. Eugen Schmidt's designs are currently receiving increasing attention.
