Munich Armchair
Modern art of the 20th and 21st centuries deserves an appropriate setting, with a building and its furniture that is just as modern. Berlin architects Sauerbruch Hutton were thus faced with an exciting challenge when asked to design the Museum Brandhorst in Munich. Three different seating solutions were developed for the museum, which opened in 2009 - for the cafeteria, the foyer, the conference and lecture rooms as well as the lounge. ClassiCon developed the designs to the point of series production in close collaboration with the architects. Along with demanding expectations in terms of form and quality, the typical wear and tear that the furniture would be subjected to in the public space had also to be taken into consideration. Its durability was ensured by means of various tests.

ClassiCon
ClassiCon offer modern classics that are collector’s items—not only the masterpieces of yesterday, but of tomorrow as well. ClassiCon’s collection aims to produce individual pieces of great originality and formal perfection. Displaying the kind of value that lasts, ClassiCon collection pieces are destined to become coveted investments for future generations. ClassiCon has from its inception aspired not only to offer pieces by established figures such as Eileen Gray and Eckart Muthesius, but also to foster contemporary design and to present selected examples in its program. Naturally, the models chosen must display the kind of quality and advanced form that earns them the designation “classic”. That’s why ClassiCon is always open to new design ideas.
Sauerbruch Hutton
Louisa Hutton and Matthias Sauerbruch studied at the Architectural Association in London and in 1989 established their office for architecture, urban development and design, combining function with sensuality and environmental sustainability. Their buildings include the Federal Environmental Agency in Dessau, the Museum Brandhorst in Munich and the GSW Head Offices in Berlin, part of MoMA’s architecture collection.
Their Munich Lounge Chair comes from the seating they developed for the Museum Brandhorst, taken to series production by ClassiCon in close collaboration with the architects and tested to withstand public use.
