Wittmann Customizable Fame Chair by Christophe Pillet
About the Item
The FAME collection is a roll-call of all of Wittmann’s greatest qualities: ageless design, matchless comfort and uncompromising longevity. With clear-cut aesthetics and inimitable precision craftmanship, FAME chimes beautifully with Wittmann’s roots and core values. Following on from the lounge chair and stool, Christophe Pillet has now applied the underlying design template to a chair that is every bit as understated as it is elegant.
Classic and unfussy, FAME Chair stakes its claim to a place at the dining table through a line that verges on the stark. A visual minimalism that, at first glance, gives away little about the unique seating experience it has to offer. In this respect, FAME is typically Wittmann: its pared-down form would not forgive even the most miniscule of processing deviations – its contours are simply too exacting for that. A chair that immediately radiates charming understatement, and only reveals its exceptional comfort upon closer inspection. Like the lounge chair, the chair is defined by a delicate, slightly elastic backrest and armrest shell defined by precisely executed top stitching. In consultation with the designer, a particularly high-quality saddle leather was selected for the body of this exceptional chair. In the furniture sector, it demonstrates its key qualities precisely at the juncture that the FAME Chair occupies – namely as a resilient support material for flexible or gently swinging seating furniture.

Wittmann
Wittmann has a long tradition of uncompromising commitment to producing furniture of the highest quality. From its beginning, the Austrian company’s seating and bedroom furniture, such as armchairs and daybeds, have been fashioned from the most durable woods, like teak and oak, and upholstered in fine leather and fabrics.
Wittmann started in 1896 as a saddlery. In the 1950s, under the direction of Franz Wittmann, it began creating upholstered furniture. The company quickly made a name for itself by manufacturing quality pieces, with a focus on seating and bedroom furnishings.
Wittmann has regularly worked with major designers, with many collaborations leading to long-term partnerships. Austrian architect Johannes Spalt, French architect Jean Nouvel and Italian architect Paolo Piva have all had successful partnerships with the company.
The company’s most enduring collaboration was with Austrian designer Josef Hoffmann, a central figure in the modern furniture movement of the mid-20th century. Hoffmann moved away from extravagant ornamentation and embellishment in favor of showcasing the beauty of construction that shows through with a simple, well-crafted design. Though its mid-century modern furniture was intentionally simplistic, Wittmann incorporated color and texture into its offerings, providing some added flair compared to the popular Scandinavian modern works coming out of Denmark.
Drawing on this rich heritage, Wittmann continues to hand-make furnishings. It has stores in Vienna, Hamburg and Seon in Switzerland, and exports over 15,000 pieces each year to over 50 countries worldwide.
