Extraordinarily rare pair of genuine original Bauhaus movement chairs designed by the legendary Anton Lorenz for Mucke-Melder Company in 1935, as model FN 22 Doma. Its design is based on the model B 36 by Marcel Breuer for Thonet Company from 1934. Breuer's version was a solid steel frame with additional cushions on the seat and backseat. Lorenz first upgraded Breuer's design (also for Thonet) as model B 36 P. It was an armchair with integrated seating within the steel frame. This third version is very similar to Lorenz's first piece for Thonet. The main design difference is the thickness and the shape of the fabric seating. Overall it is a very elegant armchair. There is a perfectly balanced contrast between the fabric and the steel frame together with the dark brown wooden handles. This is a true modernist masterpiece.

The chair is in very good vintage condition. The wooden armrests have been recently refurbished. There is wear and tear to the chrome frame, and would benefit from being re-upholstered, but are more than usable as they are.
