Description
Herbert Hirche was a German architect, furniture designer, and university professor.
After training as a carpenter and completing his subsequent journeyman years, he began studying architecture at the Bauhaus in Dessau in 1930. His teachers included Wassily Kandinsky and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe; he also worked as an assistant in the latter's office. Following his graduation, Hirche initially worked for the renowned architects Egon Eiermann and Hans Scharoun before accepting a professorship at the School of Applied Arts in Berlin-Weißensee in 1948. In 1952, he moved to the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart, where he taught until 1972.
Alongside his academic teaching career, Herbert Hirche worked as a freelance architect and designer, significantly shaping the aesthetic of the early post-war period in Germany. He was also a member of the Deutscher Werkbund, the Association of German Industrial Designers, and the German Design Council.
Herbert Hirche designed the "Santa Lucia" wicker chair offered here in 1969 for the Italian restaurant of the same name in Stuttgart.
Herbert Hirche died on January 28, 2002.
