A brand that takes its time
Greiner was founded in 1922 in Pleidelsheim near Stuttgart as a small machine shop making metal parts for styling chairs. The first hydraulic chairs arrived in 1960. Today, the company is still family-owned, and almost everything is still made at the factory: the chairs are handmade, the upholstery is fitted by Greiner’s own employees, and the seat foam is developed in-house.
It’s the kind of brand that would rather do a few things right than do many things quickly. You can feel that when you sit in one of the chairs.
Greiner is sexy, and here’s why: Greiner designs its furniture with the salon in mind and with a focus on preventing work-related injuries. That’s super sexy.
The detail that solves a real problem
All Greiner chairs share the same DNA, but Greiner 38 has one detail that sets it apart: an opening between the backrest and the seat. It sounds small, and it really is. But hair doesn’t collect in the chair. It falls down and away instead of staying put and needing extra cleaning between every client, and the air circulates freely, making a difference for the client on really hot days.
It’s a deliberate design choice that solves a practical problem while still looking good from every angle. A familiar problem, solved the right way, not just for the sake of design. These are the kinds of solutions that define Greiner.
From the salon to the hospital
In 2020, Greiner won an innovation award for ergonomics. The chairs have featured at Berlin Fashion Week and are supplied to hospitals and clinics around the world, where the demands for comfort, durability and daily use are far tougher than in the hairdressing industry. A chair that can withstand that can also stand up to life in a salon.
Greiner 59 is a great example. Its shape is calm and iconic, neither trendy nor trying too hard to look modern. It's designed to be timeless and therefore never "in fashion". The proportions are carefully considered, and the upholstery fits just right. That's the kind of calm that only comes when someone has taken the time to draw every little detail properly.
From green to black
Greiner comes in many colors. Here's a selection ranging from dark green SuperTex to beige, brown, and black.
