Program 21, Design: Klaus Franck, Werner Sauer

Over 35 years ago two young designers at Wilkhahn recognized that sitting still cannot be healthy. Both of them wanted to give adults their natural mobility back. Following intensive studies, they developed the FS-Line, a chair that revolutionized the office furniture industry. Since then, we have produced 40 variations of this chair. Millions of these have been sold worldwide; they have been inundated with awards and have often been imitated - but not very successfully.

The principle is quite simple: the highly flexible seat shell adjusts automatically to any change in posture. The technical term for this is: "automatic synchro-adjustment". We call it "Sitting without a driving licence."

Classical. Modern. Enduring.

The FS-Line was launched back in 1980. And its highly flexible, unitary seat- and backrest shell are still considered a global milestone in dynamic seating. With the elegant curve of the swivel arms, the appealingly spacious seat, slim contours and compact mechanics, the design also wrote history. A more attractive ergonomic office chair, so lacking in complexity, is difficult to imagine. Well-known publishing house “form” devoted a whole issue of its “ Design Classics” series to the FS-Line. So it’s not surprising that the FS-Line’s Executive models have been popular with decision-makers in the worlds of politics and business for decades.
