01 product description
Product description
Harmonious design with adjustable seat depth.
The design of Turner is characterised by balanced volume and proportions. At the same time the sofa meets every comfort standard - by tilting the backrest an easy-to-use mechanism enables the seat depth to be adjusted. The modularly-based concept of the programme makes possible not only the planning of traditional, formal seating ensembles but also combinations with a chaise-longue or daybed. The fully removable upholstery is made of fabric or leather.

Viewing and evaluating
It is Hannes Wettstein's former desk that is attracting particular attention at the exhibition currently being held at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule – ETH). The found objects and equipment on display there show the Swiss industrial designer, who died in 2008, to have been an inspired and inspiring person. It is definitely a good thing that all of the sum total of 347 projects he is recorded as having made have for the first time been extensively documented in an exhibition and catalog.
