The original Contessa 1956 Armchair was the first modern piece of furniture produced by Wittmann after the war: a “sporty piece” raked sharply backwards and firmly upholstered like a sports car seat. Although the wings and armrests are pared right back to the minimum, it still exudes comfort unlike any of the severe Bauhaus classics. The precision of the organically flowing lines is highlighted by leather piping which is customisable. Meanwhile, the conical slanting legs give the chair character and add a certain nimbleness.
Austrian Handcrafted since 1896.
