Modern Classic Bauhaus Design Furniture
The Wassily, his name since its re-edition, is named after Wassily Kandinsky, the
great Russian painter, from whom the first abstract image of modernity orignates and
as Breuer taught at the Bauhaus. This chair is the brilliant start of the Iron Age in
the furniture industry in the 20s. The solid wood frame it replaces - a tribute to the
enthusiasm of the bike in his time - through thin steel straps, the padding of leather
- or fabric tenseness that permeate each other. Above all, he forms an abstract, constructivist
sculpture in space, which gains its charm from the contrast of thin, colourless, intangible
rods and broad, solid-looking effective leather or fabric strips. The user is defined and
delimited by a space cube. For casual seating and lounging around the chair is less suitable
than for stylish meditation on body and space.
The ten most important designers were
Marcel Breuer,
Mies van der Rohe,
Le Corbusier,
Charles and Ray Eames,
Eileen Gray,
Walter Gropius,
Arne Jacobsen,
Alvar Aalto, Josef Hoffmann and
Philippe Starck. Furniture design
is on the contrary a pronounced elite field of handwork. What a designer draws is partly produced a million
times and can be enjoyed by many people. Especially the modern classic design.
If they are not always economically very successful, and they are still so for a long time or after a
long time are again available on the market, they will affect the style of others, who live on them. The majority
of the outstanding furniture designers were the architects
Mies van der Rohe,
Alvar Aalto,
Arne Jacobsen,
Eero Saarinen,
Frank Lloyd Wright,
Gerrit Rietveld,
Isamu Noguchi,
Mart Stam, and
Le Corbusier. Others
came from the design to architecture like
Eileen Gray,
Marcel Breuer,
Egon Eiermann,
Charles Rennie Mackintosh,
Paul Kjaerholm,
Michele de Lucchi,
Harry Bertoia,
Otto Blümel,
Achille Castiglioni,
Egon Eiermann,
George Nelson,
Richard Sapper,
The Shakers,
Michael Thonet, or
Philippe Starck Outstanding furniture designers who have nothing
to do with the architecture, are more likely to be in minority and most likely still to be found in the lamp design,
like for example
Wilhelm Wagenfeld. On the one hand an ever-advancing specialization takes place, which in view of
technological development is also necessary. On the other hand, the tendency toward specialization is also an aberration.
Michelangelo was not only an artist and a sculptor, also a designer, architect, poet, clothes designer and even poet.
He created superbly in all areas. Perhaps that is among others the characteristics of the classical designers, their universality. The modern classic furniture collection is worldwide and unique.
Undoubtedly the most influential body of modern design classics is demonstrated by the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
This institution (called Moma for short) has built up over the time a prestigious collection. Every
object that is represented there, has achieved the highest honour that can be achieved for design
in this world. In the Museum of Modern Art you will find the
