It is constructed from two tubular lines that form the front legs, seat, and backrest, connected by two crossbars. The seat and backrest consist of elastic webbing called \"sandows\"—after Eugen Sandow, the pioneer of bodybuilding—which had been known since the 19th century as part of the expander, a popular piece of fitness equipment. The expanders reflect the avant-garde's enthusiasm for physical culture and hygiene, giving even the chair the appearance of a piece of sports equipment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chair's crossbars and rear legs are not screwed on, but welded. This demonstrates that for Herbst, the desired form and the reflective surface of the metal were less important than the structural possibilities, even though the manual work required at the welding points increased the chairs' production costs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrice is for one chair.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 47 cm \/ 18.5 inches\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 49.5 cm \/ 19.5 inches\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 81 cm \/ 31.9 inches\u003cbr\u003eSeat Height: 47 cm \/ 18.5 inches\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 5.75 kg \/ 12.7 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTake a closer look 👀 on instagram: Talisman.furniture\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI would like to ask customers from the United States of America to contact me before placing an order, as it is currently problematic to import goods into the US.","brand":"TALISMAN.FURNITURE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56792775491849,"sku":"ced_28420195580","price":450.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0893\/2851\/7385\/files\/il_fullxfull.7482675017_d0qw.jpg?v=1769915888","url":"https:\/\/tlsmn.de\/de\/products\/sandows-chair-rene-herbst-modern-bauhaus-chrome-black-expander-design-icon-space-age","provider":"TALISMAN.FURNITURE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
