Moser High-Back Armchair

The Moser armchair is one of the most significant Swiss furniture designs of the 20th century

Information

The Swiss architect Werner Max Moser designed a whole range of furniture for Embru. Despite their similarity to the well-known Bauhaus models, his designs were always characterised by the Swiss philosophy of practical furniture.

Embru has been producing the free-swinging armchair, designed in 1930, in its original version again since 2002. Only the seat adjustment has been optimised with a simple one-handed mechanism.

The extended version as a high-back chair followed two years after the original design. Its split back cushion and neck roll provide additional seating comfort and formally define the support area for the shoulders and head.

With armrests available in various wood finishes and a wide range of colours for the standard upholstery fabrics, the Moser high-back armchair can be configured to suit individual tastes.

  • Frame made of tubular steel, high-gloss chrome-plated or powder-coated
  • Seat frame made of sheet steel, powder-coated, adjustable, 2 positions
  • Wooden armrests, available in 4 variants
  • Seat and backrest cushions with pocket spring core
  • Upholstery covers available in fabric or leather
  • Upholstery covers with zips, removable
  • Upholstery of the headrest on the high-back chair in Ranchero leather, black
  • Black PVC glides
  • Optionally available with felt glides

Werner Max Moser

Werner Max Moser was a Swiss architect; he was born in Karlsruhe and studied architecture at ETH Zurich from 1916 under his father, Karl Moser. After working in Stuttgart and with Frank Lloyd Wright in the USA, he returned to Switzerland in 1926. In 1931, together with Sigfried Giedion and Rudolf Graber, he founded Wohnbedarf AG; in 1937, he co-founded the architectural practice Haefeli Moser Steiger; and from 1958 onwards, he taught at ETH Zurich.

Moser designed a whole range of furniture for Embru, some of which proved very popular with customers and were subsequently mass-produced. His designs are often characterised by a subtle sophistication, such as the adjustable seating position on the Moser armchair. These distinctive features enabled the piece of furniture to be protected by a patent.
