The Z chair, also referred to as chair #42, by design of Kai Kristiansen and produced by Slagelse Møbelvaerk. This chair got it’s Z shape from the suspending back rest. It's a classic.
At first sight the chair might look slightly uncomfortable, however sits as a winner. Actually the short armrests are much better sized than typical ones you’ll find on a chair. Kristiansen clearly put some thought into this. These six chairs are from teak and the seats and backs have been reupholstered in a high quality (Retro) leatherette. The subtile glow makes it look like the original upholstery.
For ‘good sitting’ Furnip awards the Z-chair with a 8.5!
