Vintage Kusch+Co Postmodern Stacking Chair – 1980s

This distinctive vintage chair was designed and manufactured by Kusch+Co in the 1980s and represents the bold postmodern aesthetic of the era. It reflects the German manufacturer’s well-known commitment to precision, durability, and functional design, combined with a visually striking yet refined appearance.

The sculpted black backrest creates a strong contrast with the red upholstered seat, while the chrome-plated tubular steel legs add a light, industrial character to the overall composition. The stackable design is not only highly practical but also emblematic of the period’s focus on intelligent, space-efficient furniture solutions—one of Kusch+Co’s core strengths.

From the 1960s onward, Kusch+Co became particularly renowned for furniture designed for public and contract spaces such as offices, waiting areas, and conference rooms. As a result, ergonomics and long-term durability were key considerations in their designs. Thanks to this approach, chairs from this period remain highly functional today, while also serving as authentic vintage design statements.

Personal note:
This chair is a particularly appealing piece to me because it perfectly captures the bold color sensibility of the 1980s while maintaining the unmistakable quality and reliability associated with German design. It works equally well around a modern dining table, in a creative studio, or as a standalone accent piece in a gallery or design-focused interior.
