About the Item

A rare set comprising two Tail 4 armchairs and a pair of matching tables, designed by Heinz Witthoeft in Germany. This ensemble exemplifies Witthoeft’s sculptural approach to furniture design, where bold geometry, refined proportions, and materiality converge. The Tail 4 armchairs feature wood and leather, their flared backrests and generous seats offering both comfort and presence. The strong architectural armrests extend cleanly from the structure, lending the chairs their striking silhouette. The two matching tables echo the same design language, creating a cohesive suite. With their wood surfaces and angular forms, the tables complement the armchairs both aesthetically and functionally, enhancing the rare opportunity to acquire a complete Witthoeft grouping.
