Product details
Stylish, downright delicate and yet robust: the moser is the epitome of the Swiss chair. Many Swiss consider this simple design classic to be the "chair of chairs".The 1-250 model, or as it quickly became
known among architects and in the vernacular, the "Moser chair", was in the spotlight from the very beginning and became horgenglarus' best-known piece of furniture. It is illustrated in all horgenglarus catalogs published since 1932.architect Werner Max Moser first showed his wooden chair in 1931 in a version with a wide backrest on the occasion of the Neubühl housing exhibition, which he helped to design. Even after the war, the response was great. It appeared on the cover of the 1954 Swiss Werkbund goods catalog, and in 1958 it received the "Die gute Form" award as the "183 M" and "183 MA" models. So much honor attracts imitators, but "All other similar and replicated chairs are perceived as plagiarism," says the archive records.Moser chair is very versatile and you can spend a long time on it. Werner Max Moser, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, limited his first furniture design to the absolutely necessary, and yet the Moser chair with its round, slightly swinging legs looks familiar. It is reminiscent of the bentwood chairs of the time, as well as the horgenglarus chair classic. There are similar purist chairs, there are comparably stable and equally comfortable chairs, but in combination, the moser is unique, thanks to its stable seat frame. The quality of the wickerwork is also superior: The sturdy Jonc braid is pulled into the chair frame by hand and knotted there, so it has much more support than a machine braid that is pressed into a groove. A continuity of the tried and tested, as modern today as it was then.
