As new! WK Wohnen multifunctional leather Relax Chair, armchair 699 "Solo" by Prof. Heiliger, premium chrome version
For sale is an original WK Wohnen 699 "Solo" relax chair in excellent and mint condition, here in the very rare premium chrome version.
OBJECT:
Relax armchair / Relax Chair
Finish: Chrome
STYLE:
Modern
DESCRIPTION:
The Solo is a very flexible lounge chair that can be transformed into a chaise longue with just a flick of the wrist. The first question that Prof. Heiliger obviously asks himself when designing furniture is how it will be used. The reclining surface spans the floor like a bridge. The armrests integrated into the infinitely adjustable backrest convey a feeling of security. The possibility of folding in the footrest is signaled by a visually indicated pivot point.
A cheeky design object with a high relaxation value! A very high-quality alternative to the Wink from Cassina.
Construction:
Frame: high-gloss chrome-plated tubular steel frame;
Seat: polyether padding and wadding cover;
Back and integrated armrests: Molded foam with wadding cover;
Folding mechanism with floor protectors

MATERIAL:
Bright chrome-plated tubular steel / naturally grained thick nappa leather, lightly pigmented, aniline dyed through
A little leather lore: "Not all leather is the same !!!"...
Please do not compare this leather with artificially grained leather. With artificially grained leather, the lower skin layers of the animal hide (split leather) are pressed through heated steel rollers. The rollers have a surface that is modeled on the natural leather grain and thus create an artificial grain (embossing) of the original smooth leather through pressure and heat.
This artificially grained leather is very often used for leather furniture which is sold on ebay, Amazon & Co as well as in upholstered furniture stores with so-called bargain prices, producer prices, direct purchase prices etc. (often Chinese goods). This furniture is often advertised with the term "genuine leather", which is factually correct. This does not mean high quality, it is by no means a seal of quality, but simply means that it is not artificial leather!
Incidentally, the leather is characterized by quite a high degree of wear and tear, with normal use the grain has disappeared after some time. It also feels cold and often quite rubbery due to the high color application. The difference in quality can also be seen in the price; it only costs around 1/3 of the price of high-quality leather at the tanneries, as it is actually a reject or third choice product in the conventional sense.
COLOR:
deep black
Info:
The photos are high exposed, so that the 1a condition is also visible in detail! Colors are generally brighter as a result. The shadow areas or the areas not directly illuminated by the photo light best reflect the natural color tones. Gloss on the photos or grayish or milky areas are also due to exposure or lighting (reflections). The surfaces are silk matt to silk gloss.
DIMENSIONS:
approx. W: 82cm H: 94cm D: 95-150cm Sh: 38cm
CONDITION:
Like new! It is comparable to exhibition condition and has, if at all, only very minor signs of use. There are no scratches, dents, abrasions etc. in the leather. The typical slight leather creases in the crease area of functional armchairs or concave back surfaces are completely normal.
This piece of furniture is just right for the design lover who is looking for the highest quality workmanship at an affordable price, but does not want to compromise on condition.
