The design classic SE 42 by Egon Eiermann is marketed by Wilde + Spieth and stands out for all on account of its three-legged frame and the exclusive colours designed by Le Corbusier. In the production process, multiple glued beechwood is moulded in order to adapt the seat and back surface to the shapes of the human body, thus ensuring the highest possible sitting comfort.
