Historical Swiss German Art Deco Modern Production Swivel Stool Patinated Oak

About the Item

Historical Mid-Century Modern Swiss German Industrial swivel stool by Albert Stoll II for Giroflex Stoll, Switzerland. Ergonomic round dimpled oak seat sits atop the first patented spring cushioning system made of steel. Flanked with torpedo-wing feed in solid oak. Original, unrestored condition with gorgeous patina. In 1872 Albert Stoll I established a chair factory in Koblenz which focused on the production of bentwood chairs for cafés, hotels and stores. Starting in 1919, his son, Albert Stoll ll, concentrated on the development and production of office chairs. In 1926, he invented the "Federdreh" ("Spring swivel"), which quickly became famous and was patented worldwide. This was the first swivel chair with a suspension system. The brand name "Giroflex" (turn and flex) can be traced back to this invention. In 1948 the brand name “Giroflex” was introduced. Albert Stoll II. improves the American office chair and designs a swivel chair that he calls the "Federdreh" (loosely translated as the "sprung swivel"). At the Leipzig trade fair in 1926, he shows his new product to the public for the first time. It is the worldwide patented "Federdreh", the first swivel chair with rotatable column-type spring suspension.
