Schweizer Vintage Safari Stuhl von Wilhelm Kienzle

The so-called "safari or colonial chairs" were developed in the 19th century. The chairs could be disassembled in the simplest way and without using tools and found space in the luggage without any problems. The Swiss interior designer, furniture designer, product designer, graphic artist and art educator Wilhelm Kienzle (1886 - 1958) continued the idea of ​​the dismantling chairs and designed his own version of the "Safari Chair" in 1928. In the early 1950s, the company Wohnfarf took over the manufacture and distribution of Kienzle's draft. Under many different variants, our copy is probably one of the most beautiful explanations. Solid oak frame. Seat, back and armrests made of natural core leather. Over the many years, the chair/ armchair has received an enchanting patina. It is clearly darkened, but still has a perfect substance. The oak frame is only put together and held together with the leather straps. There are only two screws on the entire chair. These ensure that the backrest can be moved and individually adjusted. Seat height approx. 40cm.
