On the way to the director: F51 Gropius armchair from Tecta

Walter Gropius, director of the Bauhaus Weimar, furnished his strictly cubic director's room with his own designs and those of his Bauhaus colleagues. His desk and work chair arranged the room in a straight line, and a four-flame festoon lamp accentuated the rectangular surroundings.

The ensemble is complemented by a design by Gropius himself - a cubic armchair and sofa family - to which the F51 also belongs, which is often referred to as the Gropius armchair. It is characterised by a novel supporting structure combined with voluminous upholstery. The armrests protrude and even the back of the design classic does not reach the floor. The armchair proves to be one of the forerunners of the chairs without back legs.

Walter Gropius - Bauhaus director

Walter Gropius was already influenced by his origins to follow the path he chose. His great uncle was the famous architect Martin Gropius, who designed the Royal Museum of Decorative Arts in Berlin, which still bears his name today.

After Gropius had broken off his architectural studies in Munich and Berlin, he went to the office of the renowned architect Peter Behrens in 1907 and, like many other well-known designers, began his career there.

In 1919 Gropius became director of the Grand Ducal Saxon Academy of Fine Arts in Weimar and gave the school the new name "Staatliches Bauhaus in Weimar". As an innovation, he introduced dualistic training in the workshops, in which a craftsman as a master craftsman and an artist as a master of form led the training. This created an ideal unity of craftsmanship and artistic design.

During his term of office from 1919 to 1928 Gropius was a formative authority at the school and even after the closure of the institution he continued to spread the Bauhaus idea throughout his life.
