About the Item
Bauhaus Diagonal Chairs by Willem Hendrik Gispen for Gispen, The Netherlands — Design 1927, Production 1970s
A remarkable pair of Diagonal Chairs designed in 1927 by Dutch industrial design pioneer Willem Hendrik Gispen, produced by Gispen in the 1970s. These chairs are a refined reissue of a Bauhaus-era classic, expertly capturing the modernist ethos of the original design while embodying the craftsmanship of a later production period.
The chairs feature elegantly bent tubular steel frames with the signature diagonal leg structure that gives them their name. This geometric form was revolutionary for its time and remains strikingly contemporary. The seats and backs are woven from natural rattan, adding texture, warmth, and a handcrafted element to the industrial silhouette.
Inspired by the Bauhaus principles of simplicity, functionality, and honest materials, Gispen’s Diagonal Chair was influenced by the work of Marcel Breuer and Mart Stam but remains uniquely Dutch in its character. The 1970s production closely adheres to the original design’s proportions and materials, offering collectors and design enthusiasts an authentic yet more accessible iteration of this icon.
The set remains in excellent vintage condition with only minor wear consistent with age. Comfortable and visually light, these chairs are perfect as accent pieces, dining chairs, or part of a curated design collection.
