Horgenglarus Miro

Miro, a compact wooden chair with a minimalist design, is a redesign by the internationally renowned designer Hannes Wettstein (1958-2008). Wettstein, who sought the essence of things in his works, created a very harmonious design characterized by sovereign, discreet elegance through his sensitivity to shapes, dimensions, and proportions. The stackable chair 687 S, originally designed in 1950 and awarded "The Good Form" in 1958, was gently interpreted by Hannes Wettstein: the profile on the inner sides of the front legs was rounded, and the seat was tapered towards the back. With a changed angle of the rear legs and a contouring of the seat, the chair has become more ergonomic. Due to its understated character, Miro can be used in many private spaces as well as in public areas like restaurants. In its distinctly unpretentious form, it has already been a staple as a stackable chair, such as the model variant 6/100 in the large beer restaurant of the Swiss Expo 64 in Lausanne, as shown in the first color photo in the Horgenglarus catalogs. Miro marks a new beginning for Horgenglarus. Miro is one of the most successful chairs and became the starting point for an extensive family of chairs that Hannes Wettstein created until 2007. The agile Montreux model, with its high back, is the elegant variant of Miro for exclusive restaurants, shops, or guild houses. Thanks to the classic webbed upholstery of the seat, this nimble chair is very comfortable. Miro, a compact wooden chair with a minimalist design.
