Stick Dance

”Stick dance” is a chair which refers to the Bauhaus School (1919 – 1933) in Germany.

The relationship with the Dutch designer Gerrit Rietveld´s “Red and Blue Chair” (1918) is obvious.

The conception, “Stick Dance”, pops up in 1928 while the German multi-artist and Bauhaus Teacher, Oskar Schlemmer, is working on the choreography of his avant-garde “Ballet of Geometry”, in which “Stick Dance” is included.

The frame of the chair is made of oak sticks (18×18 mm) – having one slanting side which dictates the main form of the chair. The seat and the back of the chair are made of plywood – birch and oak. The chair is treated with oil.

Stokke Dans

”Stokke Dans” er en stol der giver referencer til Bauhaus Skolen (1919 – 1933) i Tyskland. Slægtskabet med den hollandske designer Gerrit Rietveld´s ”Red and Blue Chair” (1918) fornægter sig heller ikke.

”Stokke Dans” dukker op i 1928, da den tyske multikunstner, og Bauhauslærer, Oskar Schlemmer arbejder med koreografien til sin avantgarde ballet ”Ballet of Geometry”, hvori ”Stokke Dans” optræder.

Stolens stel består af 18 x18 mm egelister, som alle har én skrå side, hvilket dikterer stolens hovedform. Sæde og ryg er af birkekrydsfinér med egefinér.  Alt oliebehandlet.
