Eiermann was not only appreciated as architect,
he also strongly and lastingly influenced the coming generation in furniture design. Eiermann was the first to develop serial furniture in Germany after Second World War, bearing comparison with international standards in form and functionality. It is thanks to him, that Germany after the phase of nationalsocialist isolation could tie in with its past and join the circle of outstanding design nations.
In 1953 Egon Eiermann designed the counter framework Eiermann 1 with sloping cross struts on the same level. Among his other trailblazing designs are the tubular-steel chair SE 68, wicker chair E 10, wooden folding chair SE 18 and church chair SE 121, still in Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in Berlin today.
