介绍（中）	乔治·雅各布·亨辛格（George Jakob Hunzinger）的设计进步、创新，而且经常获得专利，摆脱了19世纪美国家具中常见的历史参考。为了寻找新的美学灵感来源，亨辛格经常求助于那个时代的伟大发明——机器。这张长椅有着环环相扣、连续且有节奏地重复的元素，传递着能量，暗示着运动，就像生产它的机器一样。这张长椅是仅有的两张此类亨辛格长椅之一，也是为数不多的黑色长椅之一，它是一套家具的一部分，包括两把扶手椅、四把侧椅和一张桌子。作为使用可互换部件的先驱，Hunzinger直接借鉴了他的长椅设计，制作了扶手椅和侧椅。像南北战争后纽约的其他家具制造商一样，亨辛格试图通过生产既美观又实用的家具来满足日益壮大的中产阶级的需求。亨辛格的设计经常被称为"专利家具"，他生前获得的21项专利中有一项或多项是亨辛格的。在这里，形成长椅座椅和靠背的专利布覆盖钢带是一种新颖的替代品，取代了更常见的藤椅和传统内饰。
介绍（英）	Progressive, innovative, and often patented, George Jakob Hunzinger's designs moved away from the historical references so common in nineteenth-century American furniture. Seeking a new source for aesthetic inspiration, Hunzinger frequently looked to the great invention of that era— the machine. This settee, with its interlocking, contiguous, and rhythmically repeated elements, conveys energy, implies movement, and resembles the very machines that produced it. One of only two Hunzinger settees of this kind and one of the few finished in black, this piece was part of a suite of furniture that included two armchairs, four side chairs, and a table. A pioneer in the use of interchangeable parts, Hunzinger drew directly from his design for the settee to create the armchairs and side chairs. Like other furniture makers in New York after the Civil War, Hunzinger sought to satisfy the needs of a growing middle class by producing furniture which was not only presentable but also functional. Often referred to as "patent furniture," Hunzinger's designs frequently incorporated one or more of the twenty-one patents that he received during his lifetime. Here, the patented cloth-covered steel bands which form the seat and back of the settee were a novel alternative to the more commonplace use of cane seats and conventional upholstery.
