Chaise Lattenstuhl
(chaise à lattes)
1922
ln its apparent simplicity, this chair combines many issues of its time: the logic of industrial manufacturing, functionalism, and a stripped-back aesthetic.
First a student, then a teacher at the Dessau Bauhaus in Germany, Marcel Breuer advocated a global vision of architecture and design. ln 1922, while still a student, he produced this chair in the Bauhaus joinery workshops using just one material, maple wood, combined with a fabric made by the students in the textile workshop. The geometric construction of the plans for Lattensthul was inspired by the De Stijl movement.
