The history of the Stoll Giroflex company dates back to 1872, when Albert Stoll opened a simple chair factory in Koblenz, Switzerland. Originally, the company produced bentwood chairs for cafés, hotels and stores.
In 1919, the founder's son Albert Stoll decided to focus on office chairs.
In 1928, Federdreh invented the spring swivel, which quickly became popular and was patented worldwide.
It was the first swivel chair with a suspension system.
The brand name Giroflex, which means "to turn and bend", was introduced in 1948. The new identity reflected the essence of the company's purpose, which was derived from the original invention.
The company worked with renowned scientists from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich to develop office chairs that were comfortable, suitable for long hours of work and healthy for posture.
All to ensure the highest level of comfort during use.
