Today, I am celebrating Bauhaus, the minimalist "less-is-more" architectural design of Germany, and adherent designer, Marcel Brewer [a Hungarian], who 100 years ago, designed the "Wassily chair" pictured below. I have 4 of these chairs arranged in my home office. While appearing uncomfortable, people love sitting in this chair, mainly because of the rugged strength of the chair while offering flexible leather comfort.

You are right that it looks uncomfortable, besides this post, how do you celebrate?


Is there a movie or documentary you watch, is there food, activities, what?


I looked it up, holy crap they are expensive, better be comfortable as hell at that price.


(typo alert, you spelled Breuer wrong).

You have chairs made 100 years ago.


How old are you, man? Are you a vampire?

I also guessed that this would be you.


I like furniture that is well made and is aesthetically pleasing.


Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Arts and Crafts styles all fit the bill...Bauhaus too.


I suppose that Bauhaus is sort of the German take on Deco and Arts and Crafts.

If Germans liked their chairs, they would have stayed home during the Second World War instead of walking with Hitler.

Why would this appear uncomfortable? This beats mostly everything my college library has to offer. That thing would be perfect if criss-crossing your legs. I would actually pay real US dollars for this chair, unless it is more expensive than $100, then I would shut up and keep scrolling.

Design icons such as Faux's chair area sound investments.


Though unless you have a $1000 spare, I would suggest that you keep scrolling.

I don't think that Hitler did a great deal of hiking in his latter years.


Or goose stepping.


A lot of ranting maybe.


And the odd one off suicide...Seated or otherwise, I don't know.

Maybe if the hairs were more comfortable, Hitler would have stayed at home.

Sorry typo. It should read chairs nor hairs.
