It features five profiles finished in anodized aluminum, which could be fit together to form a sofa. Also due to the slide design, the sofa could easily split into profiles, ensuring an easy transportation and storage.

Where else than in Vienna can you find excellent examples of Biedermeier Chairs?
I found this one in the shop window of a Viennese antique dealer. He offers five of them for the bargain price of Euro 8,000.-
This example is from the atelier of Josef Danhauser. It dates back to approximately 1825.

In 1977 he founded Design Realization in Paris, where he has been based ever since. He specialises in architecture and interior design for luxury resort hotels and private homes.

And here is a chaise from the Edward series from which the Burnham series is derived:

I’m not the best napper. Particularly, I have a difficult time getting comfortable enough to slip quickly into a short snooze. However, I am quite certain I would do just fine with napping if I had Christiane H?gner’s Cushionized Sofa to rest my weary head on.
