Take a seat.

I love this suite by Erich Dieckmann who trained at the very famous Bauhaus design school in Weimar.

The Thonet chair from 1859, you know this one like you know the word cafe.

This is one of the most successful industrial designs of all time. Michael Thonet developed the process of bending timber using water and steam. That's how you can make a back and legs from a single piece of timber.

The Finn Juhl chair NV-45 above proves that some very cool things were happening in Copenhagen in 1945 when this was made.
