These aren't simply chairs; they're sculptural manifestations of Daumiller's revolutionary design philosophy that continues to influence contemporary makers and collectors worldwide.
Museum-Quality Studio Craft Heritage
Crafted in Denmark in 1977 by the prestigious Hirtshals sawmill, these Danish designer chairs embody the genius of German-born Daumiller, whose approach to furniture design was profoundly shaped by Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophical philosophy. Each piece reflects Daumiller's extraordinary ability to "listen" to wood—allowing the natural characteristics of each timber to guide the final form.
Exceptional Restoration & Authenticity
Originally finished in lacquer, these exceptional examples have been meticulously restored in Berlin, where the original finish was carefully stripped to reveal the breathtaking richness and depth of the pine beneath. The natural soaped finish now showcases the wood's organic beauty while honoring Daumiller's deep reverence for natural materials.
Sculptural Design Philosophy
The robust yet playful forms demonstrate Daumiller's intuitive material understanding—each curve and angle feels inevitable, as if the wood itself demanded this particular expression. For design connoisseurs who appreciate the studio craft movement's emphasis on maker's intuition over mass production, these chairs represent museum-quality examples of 1970s Danish design innovation.
