The Foyer Chair
Information
Werner Ruhnau (1922-2015) completed around a dozen projects as an architect. For his most famous building, the “Musiktheater im Revier” (Ruhr Music Theatre) in Gelsenkirchen, he designed a striking foyer chair.
Tecta brought out a re-edition in 2009 – Armrests, nonexistent backrests and the swivel base allow you to sit as you please.
