Maria Witzemann for Wilde und Spieth SW88 chair | multiple pieces available

A beautiful example of early German Mid-Century Modern: the SW 88, designed by Herta-Maria Witzemann for the renowned German furniture house Wilde + Spieth. This chair combines simplicity, functionality, and particularly refined design in a lovely way. The SW 88 was designed in the early 1950s, a period when designers were experimenting with new combinations of industrial materials and craftsmanship techniques. The slender, black lacquered steel tube frame gives the chair an almost graphic appearance, while the natural woven material provides warmth, structure, and a pleasant contrast. This combination makes the chair timeless and surprisingly versatile. Designer Herta-Maria Witzemann (1918–1999) played an important role in post-war German interior and furniture design. In 1952, she became the first female professor at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart, where she taught interior and furniture design for many years. Her designs are characterized by a strong balance between functionality and an elegant, understated shape. The SW 88 is a beautiful example of this. Producer Wilde + Spieth also holds a special place in German design history. The company worked during this period with several leading designers and became especially known for its modern furniture designs in steel and wood. This original SW 88 is in neat vintage condition, with the characteristic traces of use that befit a chair of this age. A remarkable design for lovers of German Mid-Century Modern, vintage design, and an interior where character and authenticity are central. There are 2 pieces available, sold separately.
