albers club chair 1928

The Club Chair was designed by Josef Albers in 1928, the year he was made the director of the Bauhaus furniture workshop (following the departure of Marcel Breuer) and was originally designed for Hans Ludwig and Marguerite Oeser’s house in Berlin. It was made in mahogany veneer, beech wood and maple with flat cushions. It is impossible to believe that Albers had not seen Karin’s rocking chair.
