ZYKLUS

In 1983 people could hardly believe their eyes; in 1984 it was voted Furniture Piece of the Year; these days itХs well-established as a modern classic. Zyklus Р a chair that entered the history books at an early age. In fact, Zyklus came about almost by chance: the inspiration came from a dollХs chair belonging to designer Peter MalyХs daughter. The little chair underwent a wondrous metamorphosis: it was changed, adapted, redesigned and modernised, and the simple, stunning end result was an instant hit. Its name, Zyklus, means circle Р the clear, compelling shape on which it is based. The full circle appears in the adjustable neckrest and the wheels at the back; halved, it appears in the sitting surface and the backrest, while a quarter-section makes up the armrests. And thatХs what gives Zyklus the verve that turns a modern classic into a thing of timeless beauty. Mљbel des Jahres (Redaktion Schљner Wohnen), 1984
