A prototype armchair, Werner Blaser *,
Switzerland c. 1950, classic, pared-down construction made of solid and veneered ash, dimensions: height c. 75 cm, width c. 55 cm, depth c. 55 cm, height of seat c. 42 cm. Signs of age and use, scratches and abrasions. (MHA)
Prototype of a chair produced in a small-scale series in a slightly modified form. Like Max Bill, the Swiss architect Werner Blaser sees the task of art as a unified design of the environment. Around 1950, furniture was created in a modular system with an x-base cleat connection, which was also used in his building designs.
