Prater chairs

Marco Dessi / Richard Lampert

From €338

Like the schnitzel and the waltz, Marco Dessi’s Prater chairs are nothing if not a product of their Viennese hometown. Not only are they named after the park in the Leopoldstadt district of the city but their form takes its lead from the work of another Viennese icon, Otto Wagner. Where Wagner created robust, pioneering bentwood designs at the turn of the last century, Dessi has translated these into a subtler play of detail and proportion. But just like the designs of his forebear, the dimensions encourage fully upright seating at all times and definitely no slouching.
