Iconic furniture design by Willy Guhl.
This chair was designed by Willy Guhl in 1954 after Guhl watched as the Eternit panels left a machine at the Eternit factory in Niederurnen. The Loop chair features a single sheet of seats and backs and is suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
Willy Guhl had already determined the ergonomically correct seat profile with his brother's help in 1947 using impressions in clay made by sitting test persons, which were then cast in plaster. Like a sculptor, Guhl then reworked the seating loop's radii, always with a mind to the economy of production and the structural and material requirements.
Hand made in Switzerland in the 1960s.
