A solid wood chair featuring an upholstered seat, Mark Goetz's Full Twist Guest Chair is both versatile and comfortable. Utilizing a combination of cutting-edge technology and carpentry craft, a singular, sculpted ribbon of wood seamlessly attaches to the legs while forming both arm rests and a slightly sloping back that cradles the sitter. With its clean lines, the Full Twist Guest Chair is equally suited to commercial applications such as private offices and conference areas, and residential spaces. Produced by Geiger, the design is available in their complete range of woods and upholsteries, offering near limitless possibilities to complement any interior.

Born near Pittsburgh, Mark Goetz is principal and founder of TZ Design in New York City. He studied industrial design at Pratt Institute, including a semester spent abroad studying furniture design and architecture with professors from the Danish Royal Academy in Copenhagen. In 1993, he returned to Pratt, this time as an industrial design professor where he taught in the undergraduate and Master’s program for twenty years.
Herman Miller was a West Michigan businessman who helped his son-in-law, D.J. De Pree, buy the Michigan Star Furniture Company in 1923. De Pree had been working at the company, which opened in 1905, since he was hired in 1909 as a clerk. De Pree knew his father-in-law was a man of integrity, so he decided to rename the company after him. By the middle of the 20th century, the name Herman Miller had become synonymous with “modern” furniture. Working with legendary designers George Nelson and Charles and Ray Eames, the company produced pieces that would become classics of industrial design.
