SE 68 SU STACKABLE CHAIR

SE 68 SU STACKABLE CHAIR by WILDE&SPIETH / EGON EIERMANN

The stacking chair among the multipurpose chairs. Its distinctive shape, the undeniable effect in the room and of course the typical Eiermann seating comfort make the stackable version of the SE 68 one of the greatest in terms of hall seating. Discreet yet with an incredible presence, SE 68 SU develops its different character in all kinds of rooms just as if it were individually designed and developed for just this room, this hall, this building. Regardless of the size of the room, the number of chairs, the type of deployment and use, its colour and design, in every room it seems to have just the impact and expressiveness that transforms the overall composition into this one perfect unity.

Design: Egon Eiermann, 1951

Egon Eiermann was an important German architect during the 1950s and 1960s. Typical for his style is the subtle way he continued the functionalism from his time. He was always looking for a balance between the concept and the practical necessities of each design.
Eiermann collaborated with WILDE + SPIETH for the production of shutters for some of his buildings. One day in 1948 he asked them a simple question: can you make chairs as well?
From this moment a successful collaboration was born: in the years to come they created some iconic models together.
