Practical and Striking with the Emil Rosi
Harmony and ingenuity
The Emil Rosi is handcrafted from aluminium, oak, and leather. The seat is molded oak. The back and armrests are leather, and the frame is aluminium. We hand-stitch leather tabs to the back and armrest pieces, then slide the tabs into pre-cut grooves in the frame. The solution is both practical and striking – a classic Functionals touch.
Luxury Leather
The ultra-contemporary Emil Rosi is rooted in traditional craftsmanship. We make the back and armrests from the highest quality, four mm-thick leather. The hides are tanned over the course of 8 to 12 weeks, and then dyed with metal-free pigments to produce black and cognac leathers. The natural option is not dyed, and will darken with age. All leathers are finished with natural waxes and oils.
Christoph Seyferth
Christoph Seyferth eschews the belief that good design must come from big egos. His products are humane and functional, designed for everyday use. Seyferth’s diverse background spans fine arts, carpentry, architecture, and interior design, as well as furniture design. He has done everything from build his own house to design eyewear for Adidas. Seyferth’s work has a certain timeless quality, referencing the integrity of thoughtful craftsmanship and celebrating the essence of pure materials like wood, leather, and steel.
“I don’t design practical stuff to be beautiful. Elegant design is natural and unpretentious, something that feels right without shouting for attention.”
Christoph Seyferth
