Z chair
The Z-chair , designed by Ernst Moeckl (1931–2013) in the 1970s, is a cantilever chair made of the plastic polyurethane , which is available with and without armrests. The chair is popularly known for its geometry-related names such as "crouching man", "kangaroo" and "Z-chair".
General
Due to its lacquered and therefore water-resistant surface, originally only made in the colors orange, black, brown and light gray for the "Horn Collection for living living", the Z-chair can often also be found outdoors. It is also stackable.
The Z-chair is often declared as an Eastern product, although it was sold in large numbers in both Eastern and Western Germany and internationally. He is considered a design - classic in furniture design and was honored with several awards. In Berlin, the press café in the house of the Berliner Verlag was equipped with Z-chairs.
Due to the combination of the same plastic and the lacquer surface as well as the fact that they were published very close together, the Z-Chair is also compared with the Panton Chair by the Danish designer Verner Panton .
