Kreuzschwinger are seating or lounging furniture. They were invented by the German architect and industrial designer Till Behrens in the 1950s.
Construction
[edit]Kreuzschwinger are made out of stainless steel that swing gently back and forth without mechanical help. They automatically adapt to posture changes.[1] Kreuzschwinger are often wrongly assigned to the Cantilever chair
