A pair of Bahaus beech wood and woven seagrass rope armchairs, by Erich Dieckmann. Erich Dieckmann was one of the most important Bauhaus furniture designers. At the Bauhaus Erich Dieckmann worked chiefly on developing type ranges for seat furniture. Dieckmann's most important pieces are his standardized, simply constructed wooden furnishings. The structure of this seat furniture is stringently geometric, with frames constructed of wood that was virtually square in cross section or flat and arranged at right angles. Another typical feature of these Erich Dieckmann pieces is the linkage of armrests and chair legs by a continuous runner construction. The use of quality hardwoods, rope and cane matting moderated the austere geometry of the designs.
