We recently met up with our friends at Sedus in their freshly refurbished showroom in Clerkenwell. This chair caught my eye amongst all the new shiny ones. A 1930’s original Sedus office chair with a lovely piece of typography on the back.
I pointed it out and was warmed inside when I heard the chairs story.
The chair had traveled a long way. Starting life in Germany many years ago it somehow found it's way to London. A couple of months ago the owner of a office in Clerkenwell was clearing out and noticed a logo on the back of an old office chair, it triggered something in his memory. Then he had a light bulb moment! As he looked out of the window and across the street below he saw the London Sedus showroom, the old chair was nearly home. And so from Germany to Clerkenwell and many bottoms in between he returned the chair back from whence it came.
And here's Greg from Sedus just giving it a gentle test ride!
