Named after Margarete Klöber, this task chair is a post-century modern homage to the designer of the original ‘ergonomic’ chair.

Presented at the 2019 Salone del Mobile in Milan - the prototype was developed with the support of the European Union's Worth Partnership Project and in collaboration with Portugese cork producer Clever3D+Studio and East Sussex based blacksmiths - Ironworks UK.
