Hirche Lounge Ottoman

Hirche Lounge OttomanManufacturer Richard Lampert Designer Herbert Hirche Herbert Hirches design of this chair refers strongly to the Bauhaus, where Hirche was a student from 1930 to 1933, his main teacher being Mies van der Rohe. Afterwards Hirche worked in van der Rohes office and later with Egon Eiermann. The Lounge Chair was designed in 1953 during Hirches time as professor at the Academy of Art in Stuttgart. Unusually enough, the chair never went beyond prototype

combining the typology of the classic chair with an upholstered shell (seat and backrest) with the poetic beauty of a wooden chair

Bold rounded shapes and vivid waves are referencing the flowing water of a cascade and define the silhouette of the Kaskad lamp
