TECTA F51 Armchair with armrests

The F51 is not just any armchair, it is the iconic armchair for the director’s room in the Weimar Bauhaus.‎ Walter Gropius had already injected his modernist dynamic into the building and created a small holistic work of art, encompassing interiors and furniture, tapestry and ceiling lamp.‎ Nothing is randomly chosen and everything is connected.‎ If you study the isometric layout of the director’s room you can see the furniture as part of a three-dimensional coordinate system.‎ Despite its cubic form, the chair has an almost human appearance with its heavy but floating upholstery and simple frame.‎ With the F51 Gropius has made a piece of space around us tangible and given it a geometric shape.‎ It seems as if the architect had intermeshed two C-shaped elements in such a way that they continue to convey suspense.‎ The projecting frame lifts the back of the seat and armrest upholstery away from the floor.‎ Calm and dynamism – the armchair radiates both simultaneously and thus points to the architect’s future-forward design approach, which radically questioned all things traditional.‎ Frame: solid wood Wood: Solid natural ash, Solid Oak, Ash black/white lacquered, Solid walnut Upholstery: fabric or leather cover Many other configurations of this product are available on request.‎ The Bauhaus Archive in Berlin only approves true-to-work and licensed reeditions of the original Bauhaus models.‎ These are marked with Oskar Schlemmer’s signet, which he designed for the Weimar State Bauhaus in 1922.‎ Even today, Tecta's Bauhaus models are based exactly on the proportions of the originals.‎
