Günter Beltzig, Beltzig Design Wuppertal, early chair model Floris
Günter Beltzig, Beltzig Design Wuppertal, early chair model Floris Design 1967 Chair from the Floris series, 1st edition. Designed 1967. Glass fiber reinforced polyester, originally painted orange. 107 x 44 x 58cm. The furniture from the Floris series was shown at the Cologne furniture fair in 1968, where Verner Panton also presented his Visiona 0 concept for a new way of living. At this time, Beltzig developed ideas to produce furniture in flowing, plant-like shapes from plastic, so the Floris chair has an orchid-like look. However, the shape of the chair is based on Beltzig's own body cast, which he used to transform it into an anthropomorphic seating object. Literature: Wolfgang Schepers, '68 Design und Alltagskultur zwischen Konsum und Design, Köln 1998, S. 46 ff.
