The frame is hand-carved, featuring sculptural armrests and legs, along with bevelled corners on the backrest. The proportions and curves of this design create a sense of calm and intention, not just serving as furniture but a supportive element in ones environment and life, resonating with the anthroposophical way of living. True to anthroposophical design principles, this piece avoids straight lines altogether, embracing asymmetry and mirroring the organic rhythms of nature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the exact maker remains unconfirmed, the work bears a strong stylistic affinity to the designs of Siegfried Pütz (1907–1979) and Felix Kayser (1892–1980), prominent figures associated with the Dornach School.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDornach school or Dornach design is a comprehensive exploration of anthroposophical furniture and interior design, spanning a century starting 1911. This term is closely associated with the Swiss town of Dornach, home to the Goetheanum, which is the world center for the anthroposophical movement founded by Rudolf Steiner. Dornach school focuses on handcrafted, sculptural furniture that integrates artistic expression with spiritual purpose. This approach has influenced various artists and designers, including Wharton Esherick, a pioneer of the American Studio Craft movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKindly note that the chair is in need of reupholstery.
