About the Item

Erich Dieckmann was one of the pre-eminent furniture designers of the Bauhaus and, like Marcel Breuer, was experimenting with steel tubing, standardization, and geometric forms in the 1920s and 1930s. This rare pair of armchairs, recalling the Bauhaus, is made of beech and cord. Dieckmann’s furniture models are often characterized by quality hardwoods, cane matting and geometric frames that link the armrests and legs, creating a unique runner construction. This model is therefore clearly inspired by a typical Dieckmann model, with a curved beech wood frame that perfectly shows the designer's unique avant-garde yet minimalist style and workmanship. The wooden structure was a technical innovation in its time as it was created by steam bending the wood. During the process, the wood is exposed to steam to make it pliable. Heat and moisture from steam can soften wood fibres enough, so they can be bent and stretched, and when cooled down they will hold their new shape. This is most apparent in the armrests‘ curvature that flows down to form the front legs. This continuous piece is in the focus of the whole design. The beech frames are complemented by the elegant cord seats and backs woven tightly around the wood. These chairs are defined by their materials, steam bent beech and woven cord. Both techniques require expert skill, which the manufacturer evidently possessed. Erich Dieckmann was one of the most important furniture designers of the Bauhaus movement, leaving behind an iconic body of Bauhaus-inspired seating. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Some minor scratches on the legs.
