OBJECT DESCRIPTION
Deborah Ehrlich is a singular kind of designer. She takes everyday, useful objects and elevates their beauty through careful, meaningful use of the material at hand. She then perfects the scale of the object in such a way that it feels totally recreated by her unique perspective.
With Chair, Deborah wanted to make the perfect wooden chair that could be used in whatever way needed, by whomever needed it. It is available in Hickory Heart or Ash which are both durable woods strong enough to be constructed in slight, elegant proportions. The hidden joinery makes Chair very sound while its scale is great for restaurants, dining tables, or as a lovely side chair for adults or children.
Chair's pared-back form is inspired by a music score composed by the designer’s brother which played in the aviary where she sketched the chair, along with the "incredibly loud silence of snow falling" and a movie she once saw where a chair levitates off the ground in a pivotal romantic scene. "You can put anything you want into a design, it’s an act of faith – and I knew it was done when I looked at it and thought I might levitate off the ground in that chair," Ehrlich says.

OBJECT DESCRIPTION
Max Bill was the first director of the Ulm Design Stool which was the successor to the Bauhaus in postwar Germany. With his colleague Hans Gugelot, Bill designed this stool for use in the school and it was made by the students in wood shop. It is both light and robust and very multi-functional. It can be used as a stool, end table, side table, put side-by-side for a coffee table, or stacked as bookshelves.
"Beauty of function" and "beauty as function" were two important themes to Max Bill (1908-1994), especially evident in this collection of furniture characterized by clarity of design, simplicity, logic and economical use of materials. Max Bill studied at the Bauhaus in 1927-28 under the tutelage of Albers, Moholy-Nagy, Klee and Kandinsky. His interest in industrial design grew with the economic boom after the war, and in the importance of the appearance of things, an influence which came from the impressive talent from America. This collection is produced by WB Form, the distributor arm of the furniture store Wohnbedarf for which Max Bill designed most of these pieces. Made in Germany and Switzerland.
