Munich Armchair, Chair and Table from ClassiCon

February 13th, 2012

Modern art of the 20th and 21st centuries deserves an appropriate setting, with a building and its furniture that is just as modern. Berlin architects Sauerbruch Hutton were thus faced with an exciting challenge when asked to design the Museum Brandhorst in Munich. Different seating solutions were developed for the museum, which opened in 2009 – for the cafeteria, the foyer, the conference and lecture rooms as well as the lounge. Complementing the Munich lounge chair, sofa and coffee table, presented last year, ClassiCon developed the armchair, chair and table in close collaboration with the architects and has presented these new additions to the Munich series at the IMM in Cologne in January 2012.

Chairs: Base of solid wood in oak, oak stained black or American walnut. Frame of steel tubing (with rubber webbing). Upholstery: Polyurethane with polyester fibre. Cover in fabric or leather. Table: Frame of solid wood in oak, oak stained black or American walnut. Table top with rounded edges in clearly varnished MDF veneered with real wood.

Available at Anibou from June.
