A legendary chair in Swiss design history. In 1926, the renowned architect and master of Neues Bauen Max Ernst Haefeli, created an early classic among Swiss architect chairs. It still stands for pure and timeless design. The armchair of this model is listed as ‘Model 4’ in the collection of the Museum of Design in Zurich (see eMuseum). It is offered here in a set of four chairs with a matching dining table from Switzerland.
