Klio appears contemporary and archetypal at the same time. The symbiosis of traditional craftsmanship and state-of-the-art manufacturing technology makes the sophisticated geometry of the heavy wooden
chair possible. The back, which flows smoothly into the armrests, is bent on a machine that is over 100 years old from a 13.8-kilo piece of steamed wood - either beech or oak. After three weeks in the drying chamber, the backrest is milled into shape using state-of-the-art CNC technology and then finely sanded by hand. The sophisticatedly curved backrest contrasts with the carcass with its precise edges. With horgenglarus' own solid construction and the ergonomically shaped seat, the result is a very contemporary armchair.The klio, full of character, brings a piece of poetry to the clear world of horgenglarus. It connects the formally two-part collection. Next to round, organic shapes are angular, straight-lined designs.klio is a synthesis of both worlds.It is available as a chair with a short armrest and as an armchair with a long armrest.klio was first presented at the Swiss Designers' Saturday in November 2014. The poetic-mystical installation by Studio Hannes Wettstein was awarded the "Designers' Saturday Silver Award 2014".
