About the Item

Stackable Aluflex chairs designed by Armin Wirth for Hans Zollinger Sohre in Switzerland in 1951. This set features six Aluflex folding chairs, a remarkable design by Armin Wirth, which were manufactured by Hans Zollinger Sohre in Switzerland in 1951. These chairs are celebrated for their exceptional convenience. Weighing very little, they come with foldable seats that allow you to stack and store all six chairs in the space typically occupied by just one, making them an ideal solution for homes or venues with limited space. Despite their lightweight and airy appearance, these chairs do not compromise on comfort; they provide the same support as traditional dining chairs. Each chair is constructed with a sturdy tubular aluminum frame, complemented by seats and backs made from birch plywood. This thoughtful design results in a sleek, modern aesthetic and ensures a pleasant seating experience for long periods. These chairs remain in an almost perfect shape with minor traces of everyday use. Armin Wirth had a remarkable career in furniture design, interior design, household appliances, and innovative lighting solutions. He is known for his minimalist aesthetic, which balances functionality and style. He received numerous awards, including the Red Dot Design Award, and his work is featured in prestigious institutions like MoMA in New York and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Wirth was also passionate about education and teaching industrial design in Switzerland and internationally. He passed away in 2017 at 77, leaving a lasting legacy in design.
