Siesta Medizinal lounge chair by Hans Luckhardt produced by Thonet - 1950s

After several years of studies on the subject of relaxation, first versions of the Siesta Medizinal deck chair were patented in the 1930s. Designer Hans Luckhardt always focussed on the function, not the shape. This deck chair is a version of 1951, made from two-toned beeachwood with some patina and traces of usage. The regulating screw was missing and replaced as true to original as possible.
