The SZ14 armchair, designed by Walter Antonis in 1971, is a true icon of Minimalist design. Its high-gloss chrome frame carries a robust black saddle leather cover, crafted with only the most essential materials. Integrated armrests and elegant, flowing lines offer comfort and a sense of security, while the open structure keeps the chair light and modern. Over time, the saddle leather naturally molds to its user, giving the armchair a distinctive and personal character. With its timeless appeal, the SZ14 remains a striking addition to any interior.
Walter Antonis (1943) is a Dutch designer celebrated for his clear formal language and functional approach. While studying at the Design Academy in Eindhoven, he joined furniture brand Spectrum, where he initially worked as an upholsterer in close collaboration with Martin Visser. Visser encouraged Antonis to further develop his understanding of design principles and soon offered him a position as a designer.
One of Antonis's most renowned creations is the SZ14 armchair from 1971, a design that perfectly embodies his vision of simplicity and functionality: using only the strictly necessary materials, with meticulous attention to detail and comfort. Guided by a consistent design philosophy and a strong sense of proportion, Antonis creates furniture that was both rational and refined. His work is defined by a strict, constructive logic in which material and function take precedence, combined with a minimalist and timeless aesthetic.
