Girsberger “Eurochair” Sofa by Hans Eichenberger, Black Leather and Chrome, 1970

A refined and highly collectible Eurochair two-seat sofa designed by Hans Eichenberger and produced by Girsberger in the 1970s. This iconic piece of Swiss modern design exemplifies the clean, architectural lines and functional elegance characteristic of the era.

The sofa features supple black leather upholstery with a beautifully developed patina, paired with a sleek chromed steel frame that gives the piece a light, floating appearance. The generous cushions and softly contoured back provide excellent comfort, while the minimalist structure highlights the balance between form and function.

The original manufacturer’s label underneath confirms its production by Girsberger, a renowned Swiss maker known for high-quality craftsmanship and modernist furniture design.

This piece works equally well in a refined living space, office, or gallery setting, and pairs perfectly with other Eurochair lounge seating.
