Wittmann MERWYN Upholstered barstool

For members of his Merwyn/Miles patchwork family, Sebastian Herkner struck upon a continuous thread to unite them all.‎ The key element was meticulously executed leather piping – a band in every sense of the word that speaks to Wittmann exceptional skills as a maker of handcrafted furniture.‎ The second refreshingly unconventional family characteristic is the round cushion ‘bisected’ by the piping, whose shape and volume conjures up associations with delicious macaroons – especially in the case of the Merwyn bar stool.‎ “Peace and quiet, a sofa and a cup of tea is everything”: the piece of furniture that inspired Theodor Fontane to make this heartfelt statement of wellbeing must have had very special qualities.‎ So it is good that Wittmann produces feelgood furniture in the here and now that can easily trigger similar pronouncements.‎ Models that feature highly efficient, state-of-the-art internal upholstering, crafted and layered with an expertise based on traditional methods and skills.‎ The shell that Sebastian Herkner gives this quality core espouses a similar blend of traditional and contemporary strengths: the shape of the chair and sofa stirs up associations with classic armchairs and canapés.‎ The precise upholstery is positioned above delicate, almost fragile-looking legs.‎ By contrast, the piece’s modern, pared-down shape and thoroughly stable structure – along with its pleasingly coherent proportions – is a product of the complexity of knowledge and skill that goes into innovative design ideas.‎ Ultimately it is all about a highly emotional outcome: you take a seat on Merwyn, cup of tea in hand, enjoy the peace and quiet and think to yourself: “There is nothing better than this.‎” Further info from manufacturer on MERWYN Wittmann
