Swinging Seventies

Indestructible, light and boasting a filigree design, tubular-steel kitchen chairs were very popular in the 1960s and 1970s. Florian Kienast of formwaende has resurrected the design classic for Wagner Living. Fitted with the patented Dondola hinge, the formerly rather rigid frame now allows the seat shell and backrest to respond to micro movements, thus providing relief for the spine and strengthening the back muscles.

Wagner Living’s latest reference project allows you to make up your own mind about the comfort of the W-1970: The restaurant “Fishbowl Poke” in Munich’s Glockenbach neighborhood has been furnished exclusively with chairs by the Bavarian furniture maker. Alongside the nutritious dishes served at the health food restaurant, the chairs fitted with the three-dimensionally responsive Dondola joint render a crucial contribution to the guest’s wellbeing. Visually too, the design has received a contemporary makeover: Florian Kienast has reinterpreted the seat shell, which would formerly have been upholstered in imitation leather, by giving it a sweeping form and a light-colored leather cover. The chairs make for an elegant accent in the restaurant’s industrial atmosphere. Presented at the imm 2018, the “W-1970” was awarded the distinction “Stylepark Selected imm 2018 Nominee.” The collection is completed by the aluminum stool W-2010 with a leather seat cushion. (am)
