Designed by Heinz Heger, these lounge chairs combine an expressive wooden structure with a distinctly low, relaxed seating position. Their widely splayed legs, reclined backrests, and characteristic rope tensioning give the furniture an unmistakable silhouette. As a fully preserved ensemble of two chairs and two ottomans, the design achieves its distinctive visual impact.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll four pieces of furniture are in excellent condition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The wooden frames are excellently preserved and show a beautiful, age-appropriate patina. All seat and back cushions of the chairs, as well as the cushions of the two ottomans, have been professionally reupholstered and covered in high-quality black felt fabric. The new upholstery provides excellent seating comfort and creates an elegant contrast to the warm wood tone of the frames.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe design is characterized by its unusually open construction. The solid, carefully shaped wooden frames, with their diagonally splayed legs and deeply reclined backrests, create a dynamic, almost architectural structure. Particularly characteristic are the visible rope tensioning elements, which serve as load-bearing supports for the seat surfaces. The backrests, with their horizontal wooden slats, emphasize the design's structural character. The two matching ottomans echo the design language of the chairs, completing the comfortable lounge ensemble.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Hunting Chair was designed by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeinz Heger\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, a designer whose work is known for its distinctive, functionally oriented design language within GDR furniture design.
