A Pair of Burr Walnut Veneer Armchairs by Johannes Itten

German, c 1930         

“Itten’s photograph from 1920 portrays a man who appears to be disciplined, serious and determined. His unusual appearance might be puzzling: the shaved head of a priest, the self designed robes. But it all fits into the picture of this early master at the Bauhaus.  Itten joined it in October 1919 teaching the preliminary course. His focus lay in the study of objects and materials, analysis of Old Masters and life drawing. He was aware of the newly established educational reform theory and was familiar with the artists of avant-garde. In more practical terms this meant that he wanted his students to find their inner being and develop a well tuned personality. He started his class with breathing exercises and gymnastics and let his students decide whose work was the best. People either admired him or hated him profoundly.  Nontheless he was quite rightly described as the backbone of the Bauhaus. His ‘Vorkus’, the preliminary course, was continued in a very similar style even after he left the institution. It is said that it was his passion for the development of the individual which eventually led to a fall out with Walter Gropius, the director of the Bauhaus. The latter was of the opinion that commercial work was essential to keep the school individualism. Itten eventually founded his own school in Berlin in 1926, known later as the Itten School.”

An Extremely rare pair of burr walnut veneered armchairs designed by Johannes Itten, c 1930.  Shortly after leaving the Bauhaus in 1922 as a professor of the preliminary course, Itten formed his own school in Berlin and it was during this period he designed these for his own home. Newly upholstered in vanilla colored kid these symmetrical, geometric chairs sit low to the ground and provide ample back support with the large cushions and a slight curve to the back.

Rocking Chair by Jack Rogers Hopkins

branded JACK/ROGERS/HOPKINS

Domestically proportioned pieces by Jack Rogers Hopkins are exceedingly scarce and highly sought after. Hopkins is an important and influential sculptor/furniture designer who helped defined the California design scene in the 70’s. He mastered laminated wood and applied it to never seen before forms. Although Hopkins created other chairs, this is an exceptional and unique piece. The Rocking Chair simultaneously pays homage to one of the most cherished American pieces of furniture while realizing the form in a creative and dynamic manner. Despite the form’s ingenuity and presence, it is surprisingly comfortable.
