Merwyn Chair
With Merwyn, Sebastian Herkner completed Wittmann´s task in perfection: Objective was to combine high seating comfort with an optical lightness, as well as to invoke Wittman´s unique craftsmanship.
When a chair has to have a special, inviting character, Merwyn´s unique curved design fits the bill like no other. In time-honoured Wittmann tradition, this chair is perfectly proportioned, so that – with a pocket-sprung cushion – maximum comfort is achieved, while its smooth lines are attractive from every angle. The optional armrests lend the chair even more independence. The armrests and back are leather-covered, surrounding the seat in one elegant curve. Significant feature is the masterfully worked single line of piping, running around the seat. Merwyn is a truly outstanding chair – working well as a stand-alone piece or next to a bureau or dressing table, and really coming into its own when several are used together in a mixed group with covering and piping in varying materials and colours. Bearing the unmistakable stamp of Sebastian Herkner, Merwyn adds a touch of levity to any interior design.
Wittmann
Wittmann creates treasured pieces: They are the product of an uncompromising approach to craft and design – two elements that have been uniquely cultivated by Wittmann right from the very start. Wittmann is adept at setting trends, creating milestones in the history of furniture.
Unmatched craftsmanship, as well as meticulous selection and working of fine materials, provide the basis for executing new ideas and forms. To bring them to life, Wittmann regularly partners with the greatest names of their time. And it is not uncommon for long-term cooperations to be the outcome: collaborators including Johannes Spalt, Jean Nouvel, Matteo Thun and Paolo Piva set the direction that Jaime Hayon, Sebastian Herkner and Luca Nichetto have now seamlessly picked up on, taking it into a new era.
