One year after the launch of the Diagon swivel chair, Girsberger is rounding out the range with a model with a high backrest. Diagon Executive is lavishly upholstered with ultra-soft padding and covered in high-quality pure aniline leather. The high-back chair was conceived by the German designer Burkhard Vogtherr.
The “sign of the Diagon” is its aluminium backrest support. While it appears at first glance to be a decorative design feature, it has in fact functional reasons. “My original idea was to design a comfortable backrest by mounting it on two rubber cushions to create a movable lumbar area”, explains Vogtherr. “The design of this support inevitably came down to necessity. When you implement a useful function in a minimalistic way, it almost automatically becomes attractive too”.
The advantages of Diagon can be seen from its dynamic sitting position in particular. The flexibly mounted backrest maximizes the opening angle of the seat and seat back when reclining, thus providing exceedingly comfortable movement.
The new Diagon Executive model complements the comfortable basic characteristics of the range with its particularly soft padding. Furthermore, the chair has an extra-high backrest with an adjustable neck support as well as leather-upholstered aluminium armrests.
Diagon Executive is available exclusively with a leather cover and Girsberger provides high quality pure aniline leather especially for this seat, a very natural form of leather. It owes its fine texture and velvety feel to the strict selection of hides and specific tanning process. The open-pore leather is only available in natural colours and develops a beautiful patina over time. The transparent dye preserves the natural surface of the grain and gives the leather a natural, authentic feel.
