Lamp Chair by Richard Hutten? (solved) Pof 1 Chair

A friend bought this chair as a limited edition by Richard Hutten. I’ve looked around but didn’t find any reference…..

Anybody?

Update:

I’m glad I have so many dear readers who occasionally help me out.

Dear Guido, The so-called Lamp Chair on your blog this week is not by Richard Hutten himself, but has something to do with him. The chair was brought to market by Hidden at the time, a Dutch label in which Richard Hutten was closely involved. In any case, Hutten designed a number of furniture for Hidden, but if I am not mistaken, he was also the founder / owner of this label.

The chair in question is called ‘POF 1’, was designed in 1997 by the Swiss design collective N2 and is an adaptation of a classic model by the also Swiss manufacturer HorgenGlarus. At N2, at least Jörg Boner and Christian Deuber were involved. Below are a few useful links:

Hopefully I have answered your question about this chair for the most important part.

Kind regards, P v D

I kind of guessed already it was a Horgen Chair, but hesitated as I didn’t know of a connection between Richard and Horgenglarus…

Wogg Armchair by Jörg Boner

The challenge to design a new upholstered chair for the Swiss company Wogg resulted in a new type of chair, which was presented for the first time in 2007 at the furniture fair in Milan. It took a total of four years of development time before it was ready for serial production in 2009. Two pads are wrapped around a delicate wooden frame of solid ash wood and fixed in place with press studs. It is a simple method to fold and fix in place the two-dimensional quilted pads. Forming a seat shell with a collar wrapped around the backrest, these pads are the actual innovation. The fabric parts, made from pure wool and pressed between two aluminium shells, can be produced as two-dimensional pieces. Precisely measured and welded in a high frequency procedure, it only takes a few seconds for them to leave the press. Wogg 42 is designed as an industrial product through and through.
