Constanze 3/4 Armchair

Design: Johannes Spalt (1960)

In 1960, as the first joint project with Wittmann and as a significant reference to Spalt's way of thinking, the 3/4 furniture was created: an armchair, a stool and a matching side table. The name is derived from the nickname of the working group 4, which consisted of only three members after Otto Leitner left and was charmingly called "die 3/4 - ler".

Product description

With unmistakably precise handcrafted detail, an upholstered moulded wood shell sits on top of a shiny
chrome aluminium base in the 3/4 Constanze armchair. An additional moulded wood shell gives the
masterfully deep buttoned seating element extra stability. The positioning of the legs breaks up the
compactness of the solid upholstered element – reflecting the lightness that Spalt wished to engender.
The armrests give the piece its characteristic form. Spalt wanted to create “intelligent furniture that enables the cultivation of an interior culture”. Wittmann’s goal is to use the new edition of the 3/4 furniture to give this philosophy enduring impact.
