Although I’ve always been more into Victorian styles rather than retro ones, I think I may have to make an exception for this Munich Lounge Chair. Incredibly chic, I don’t exactly know if I should refer to it as ‘retro,’ seeing as it may be too modern for that.
Designed by Sauerbruch Hutton, the Munich Lounge Chair is, you guessed it, a German creation, which will be manufactured by German-based ClassiCon. To be presented at the 2010 IMM Cologne show, I’m sure I won’t be the only one admiring its sleek lines, and leather and wood combination.
