Classic 1-380 | Wooden chair

The Classic 1-380 Swiss chair, designed in 1918, is a true legend of Swiss design. Made entirely of wood, it embodies the simplicity and robustness that have defined Swiss furniture for over a century. Its elegant, sober form reflects the principles of historicism of the time, with an aesthetic that is both pure and functional.

This chair, made from steam-bent solid wood, is distinguished by its robust construction, which eliminates the need for braces. It combines solidity and durability with ergonomics perfectly suited to everyday use. Its curved solid wood back and legs are testimony to exceptional craftsmanship that has remained unchanged for decades.

Although its initial design was conceived to meet the needs of establishments such as inns, the 1-380 chair quickly found its place in a variety of contexts, from schools to restaurants to private interiors. This model, produced without interruption since 1918, has remained true to its essence, with a minor adjustment in 1999 to adapt its dimensions to contemporary morphology.

Today, the 1-380 chair is more than just a piece of furniture: it is an iconic piece of Swiss heritage, having influenced many designers over the years. Its robust construction and timeless design continue to inspire generations, making the Classic 1-380 a true pillar of Swiss design.
