Chair D7K – for practitioners
A sleek and comfortable folding chair — the elegant answer to the needs of urban living.
With the D7K, you offer your guests a chair that’s both refined and practical. It’s easy to stow away when not in use yet never compromises on comfort or style. Folding it feels like a magic trick: the mechanism is cleverly concealed within the back leg, surprising and delighting with its simplicity and ingenuity.
Crafted from solid wood with brass fittings and a shaped wooden backrest, the D7K is more than functional — it’s an archetype of contemporary design.
And when folded? It transforms. Like Marcel Breuer’s iconic D4 from 1927, the D7K leans against the wall with a sculptural, picture-like presence. A chair that becomes art.
Klemens Grund, designer and master carpenter, originally conceived the chair for the 2012 Handwerk+Form competition and has continued to develop it ever since. Awarded with prestigious design prizes such as the State Prize of North Rhine-Westphalia and the prestigious Abraham & David Roentgen Prize, the D7K has been part of the Tecta product range since 2018.
If you prefer a version without the folding mechanism, take a look at the D7 chair — same design language, same elegance.
