About the Item

Set of Two Bauhaus-Style Chairs - Germany, 1940s This set of two Bauhaus-style chairs is an excellent example of the simplicity and functionality that defined this influential design movement. Manufactured in Germany in the 1940s, the chairs feature a laminated wood structure that stands out for its robustness and minimalist elegance. Their original condition, with natural signs of wear, makes them unique pieces full of character and history. Laminated Wood Frame: The chairs are built with high-quality laminated wood, a material that highlights the functional and simple aesthetic of the Bauhaus style. The wood has been worked to provide both strength and lightness, making the chairs both comfortable and durable. The seat and backrest are unupholstered, which highlights the natural beauty of the wood and the purity of the design. This minimalist approach allows the buyer to personalize the chairs with the material that best suits their style. Original Condition: The chairs are in their original condition, with signs of natural wear from time and use. Though the marks of wear are visible, they add to the piece's unique charm and authenticity sought by collectors. Dimensions: Diameter (seat): 44 cm Width (backrest): 49 cm Height: 81 cm Manufactured in Germany in the 1940s, these chairs are an example of the practical and elegant approach of Bauhaus design, which prioritized functionality without sacrificing aesthetics. Their clean structure and lack of unnecessary ornamentation make them timeless pieces that are still highly valued in modern and vintage-style interiors. This set of chairs is ideal for those seeking authentic pieces full of history, perfect for complementing industrial, modern, or eclectic spaces. They are versatile and bring a touch of functional elegance to any room. The chairs are in their original state, with visible signs of use that give them a unique patina. If you are looking for a pair of chairs with history and personality, this set is the perfect choice for your home.
