Vintage Egon Eiermann 'SE 40' Wooden Swivel Desk Chair for Wilde + Spieth

A wonderfully aged swivel task chair made by Wilde + Spieth , this piece was designed by Egon Eiermann in 1950. It has a curved layered plywood seating with a rare adjustable looped hairpin chromed steel backrest and a functionalist chromed steel cross-shaped swivelling base on wheels that permits the seat's height to be modified. The seating has a moulded ergonomic shape, with the backrest featuring a spring-loaded mechanism that allows it to adjust it's angle to follow the user's silhouette, both features which greatly improve the chair's ergonomics. The base comes equipped with rubber wheels which are gentle on wooden floors and rubber shock absorbers beneath the seat for added comfort. It's versatility as well as utility make it an ideal fit as a home office desk chair, in a workshop or study or even as an eye-catching addition to a cafe or restaurant.

Origin: designed Egon Eiermann in 1950 and manufactured during the mid 1950s by Wilde + Spieth in West Germany.

Condition: in very good vintage shape for its age. The wooden seating is in good shape, with gorgeous patina. It shows no cracks, with some small bumps and scuff marks along the edges as well as some scratches along the surfaces of the seat and backrest. The chromed hairpin backrest frame as well as base are in very good shape, some insular signs of rust where the chrome frame meets the plywood backrest and underneath the seat. Adjustment mechanisms are in fine working condition. The chair is stable and fully functional.
