About the Item

Eberhard Eckerle steel and rubber sculptural chair, circa 1980s. A striking example of Eckerle’s experimental approach to furniture design, this unique chair blurs the boundaries between functional seating and sculptural art. The dramatic industrial form combines an expressive steel framework with rubber elements, creating a bold and highly architectural silhouette. Eckerle’s furniture is distinguished by its emphasis on artistic expression, often taking familiar utilitarian forms and transforming them into unconventional sculptural objects. This chair exemplifies that sensibility, with its raw materials, exposed construction, and distinctive proportions. A rare and compelling piece of late 20th-century German design, equally suited to a sophisticated interior or as a standalone work of functional sculpture.
