Description
Fully restored three legged, asymmetric B1 chair by Stefan Wewerka for Tecta. Originally designed in 1979, this example is from circa 1980s. Cushioned soft black leather seat fits snugly in a satin black lacquered frame.
The B1 stands solidly on three legs, one part of the back acts as an armrest, and changing the seated position can actually be suggested by the shape pattern and material. This is no longer about sitting in rows; instead, it enables a range of conversations and activities. The detail in the finish, with tapered legs and smooth transitions in the backrest for instance, shows just how far removed the B1 is from bricolage, developed as a stand-alone object working in a formal and functional harmony conducive to non-hierarchical communication. An aspiration which is also fulfilled by Wewerka’s other designs for Tecta. -TECTA
