About the Item

This exceptional Art Deco dining chair, designed by the renowned architect Michael Rachlis for Deutsche Werkstätten Hellerau, epitomizes the elegance and craftsmanship of the 1930s. Created during Rachlis's time with the prestigious Dresden-based furniture makers, this chair is a standout piece from a custom-designed dining room commissioned by the Berlin politician Johann Baptist Gradl around 1930. The chair’s striking frame is crafted from solid hardwood, with the legs veneered in zebrawood, giving it a distinctive and luxurious appearance. The seat features a finely tuned nosag spring construction, combined with a mix of hessian, palm fiber, and cotton wool for optimal comfort, while the backrest is belted to match. The chair is upholstered in a rich, petrol-colored cotton velour, adding an air of sophistication and an inviting texture to the piece. Designed with both aesthetics and comfort in mind, this chair is an extraordinary example of the high-quality craftsmanship that defined the Art Deco period. It is a unique addition that would elevate any interior, offering a glimpse into the elegant, functional design favored by notable clients of the era.
