A magnificent pair of Bauhaus-style armchairs with a chromed steel frame and black leather seat and back. Both in design and materials, they closely follow the principles of the Bauhaus and the lines characteristic of the Modern Movement of the mid-20th century. Their futuristic vision is perfectly embodied in this piece with its pronounced curved lines in the leg structure, offering an elegant and sophisticated piece of furniture that adds a contemporary and modern touch to any space.
The design adopts a decidedly modern aesthetic, prioritizing elegance, comfort, and simplicity—characteristics that make it easily adaptable to both modern and more classic interiors. A pair with green leather is also available; please inquire about availability.
Modern Movement
The Modern Movement began in 20th-century architecture but soon spread to design. It emerged as a reaction against and break with classical architecture, proposing a much more functional architecture and design, in which form followed function, free from decorative artifice. In both architecture and furniture, all decorative objects were dispensed with, adhering solely to utility, from which beauty derived.
It was the Bauhaus School of Art and Design, founded in 1919 by Gropius in Weimar, Germany, that championed the total commitment to functionalism, logic, order, and purity of line. He introduced the concept of "good design," rejecting ornamentation, advocating the use of industrial materials, and championing the ethical dimension of both the architect and the designer. By the time the Bauhaus movement was banned by Hitler in Nazi Germany in 1933, its impact had already spread worldwide. His legacy is essential, as he established the foundations, standards, and patterns of what we know today as industrial and graphic design.
