MARRIN STOLL FOR GIROFLEX LOUNGE CHAIR WITH OTTOMAN BLACK LEATHER, SWITZERLAND, 1960s

Very elegant and high-quality lounge chair designed by Martin Stoll for the Swiss manufacturer Giroflex Stoll in the 1960s.

The frame is made of bentwood with genuine walnut veneer. The chair is exceptionally comfortable and offers excellent seating comfort.

The history of Stoll Giroflex dates back to 1872, when Albert Stoll founded a small chair factory in Koblenz, Switzerland. Originally, the company produced bentwood chairs for cafés, hotels and shops.

In 1919, the founder’s son, Albert Stoll, decided to specialize in the production of office chairs. In 1928, the company invented the spring-loaded swivel mechanism, which quickly gained popularity and was patented worldwide. It was the first swivel chair with an integrated suspension system.

The brand name Giroflex, meaning “to turn and flex”, was introduced in 1948. This new identity reflected the core philosophy of the company, which had evolved from its original invention.

The company collaborated with renowned scientists from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) to develop office chairs that provided maximum comfort and supported healthy posture, even during long working hours. The aim was to achieve the highest possible level of ergonomic comfort.
