FS116 armchair called Dachshund design Michel Mortier edition Steiner vintage

An iconic piece of 1960s French design, this SF116 armchair, nicknamed "Dachshund, " was created by designer Michel Mortier for the manufacturer Steiner in 1963. This particular example is the rare "Senior" version, highly sought after, featuring a headrest for added comfort. Its low, deep seat, combined with the elegant curves of its shuttle-shaped armrests, gives it a sculptural and decidedly modern silhouette. The armchair has been completely reupholstered by a professional upholsterer, respecting its original design and using a carefully selected, high-end fabric.
