AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful Erich Dieckmann Bauhaus chair made of solid beech wood and rope, Germany 1930s.
The design reflects the Bauhaus philosophy, in which form follows function. The typical Dieckmann features are clearly present.
The chair is in good condition, and the original paper cord is intact.
Erich Dieckmann studied architecture at Danzig Polytechnic from 1918 to 1920. After completing the basic studies, Dieckmann abandoned the program and went to Dresden, where he began studying painting and drawing.
In 1921, Erich Dieckmann enrolled at the Bauhaus in Weimar.
Between 1921 and 1925 he completed an apprenticeship in carpentry there.
With the Bauhaus school's move to Dessau in 1925, Dieckmann transferred to the State Bauhochschule in Weimar and headed the carpentry workshop there from 1925 to 1930.
From 1931 until his dismissal by the National Socialists in 1933, Dieckmann was head of the carpentry workshop at the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle.
From 1939, Dieckmann lived in Berlin.
Erich Dieckmann was one of the most important furniture designers at the Bauhaus and developed typology ranges for seating furniture. Heck Dieckmann experimented with steel tubing like Marcel Breuer, but is primarily known for his standardized wooden furniture.

Seller's Story
Since we can remember we felt attracted to beauty and exceptional things. Aesthetic has always been more than something superficial for us. It was something magic going much deeper than the surface, creating positive feelings and energies.
Harmonies, sacred proportions, colors and materials combined with time, create their very special energies and are mostly things that hardly can be described but always can be felt.
To define beauty would be far to philosophical, but we think, if something touches you by the way it looks and gives you good energy at the same time, then it would define our personal definition of beauty.
And if beauty is something that has no other purpose than making you feel good just by the way it looks, then beauty is something we surely do not want to miss in our lives.
We thank existence for giving us all those unique materials and designs and all the talented designers and craftsmen for bringing their visions and abilities to life and sharing it, to bring us purpose combined with joy.
We are glad to have the platform Catawiki where we can share our passion for extraordinary and beautiful things with like-minded people.
