Rollen Zürich Authentic Swiss Bauhaus Industrial Chrome Swivel Stool circa 1950s
An original Swiss-manufactured industrial–medical swivel stool embodying the pure functionalist spirit of mid-20th-century Bauhaus design.
Constructed from tubular chrome-plated steel, it features a precise screw-spindle height adjustment and heavy-duty industrial castors. The aesthetic directly references classic hospital and laboratory furniture, where form follows function without compromise. No ornamentation, no excess — only honest, engineered design.
The wheels are marked “Rollen Zürich – Swiss Made”, and the fork carries the “Progressus” stamp — both recognised suppliers of Swiss clinical and technical equipment of the period. These markings clearly confirm its original institutional use and outstanding manufacturing quality.
Today, the piece functions not only as a practical seating solution but also as a strong character object — ideal for loft, atelier, gallery, studio, or industrial interiors. A true “authentic industrial” statement piece with timeless presence.
