Details
Pair of pine armchairs by Rainer Daumiller, produced in Denmark in 1977 by the Hirtshals sawmill. Exemplars of organic modernism within the studio craft movement, the chairs reflect Daumiller’s anthroposophical influences via Rudolf Steiner, with forms shaped in direct response to the character of the timber.
Originally finished in lacquer, the chairs were professionally restored in Berlin. The lacquer was carefully removed to reveal the depth of the pine, then finished with a natural soap treatment that honours the material’s grain and tactility. The result is a considered surface that allows the wood to breathe while retaining the integrity of the original design.
The sculptural profiles present robust volumes with softened transitions, demonstrating Daumiller’s material-led approach where curves and angles appear resolved by the wood itself. Construction details and organic geometry are consistent with his recognised body of work.
