Take a look at the german magazine Uhu, 1928. Headline: May I offer you a chair? Marcel Breuer’s B3 Bauhaus model and the “Sitzgeiststuhl” is featured, designed by the brothers and architects Bodo and Hans Rasch. It is made out of wood. A real rarity nowadays. Impressive shape, so so modern.
The german name Sitzgeist-Stuhl is based on a poem by german poet Christian Morgenstern.
Wenn ich sitze, möchte ich nicht
Sitzen, wie mein Sitzfleisch möchte,
Sondern wie mein Sitzgeist sich,
Säße er, den Stuhl sich flöchte.
(Nearly impossible to translate:)
When I sit, I don’t want to
Sit the way my sitting flesh wants to,
But how my sitting spirit would,
If it were sitting, weave his chair.
Design is fine. History is mine.
