After long stays in Rome and Paris, he worked in 1914 together with Peter Behrens at the AEG in Berlin. For the Kunstgewerbeschule Zürich, where he taught interior design from 1916 to 1951, Kienzle designed international exhibitions in 1925 in Paris and in 1928 in Stockholm.

This chair is in great vintage condition. The leather strap on the right arm has more cracking in it than the left and is stretched a bit more than the other too.
