Christoph Seyferth’s compact, lightweight Wendela chair gorgeously unites materials and manufacturing techniques of different eras. The beech seat is created from a mold originally produced in the 1950s. It sits upon a contemporary aluminium base. Meanwhile, the visible connection between the seat and base references joinery used by carpenters for centuries.

Ergonomics In Action
Anyone who has tried a Wendela will tell you that it is exceptionally comfortable. It’s made from molded layers of beech, an approach that simultaneously gives the seat flexibility and support.
Mark of Distinction
That line on the back of a Wendela seat gives you insight into our manufacturing process. The line marks the spot where the mold for the seat opens.

Seyferth’s work has a certain timeless quality, referencing the integrity of thoughtful craftsmanship and celebrating the essence of pure materials like wood, leather, and steel.
“I don’t design practical stuff to be beautiful. Elegant design is natural and unpretentious, something that feels right without shouting for attention.”
