El Lissitzky: Armchair for the Hygiene Exhibition Dresden
This chair is painted plywood construction with solid wood seat and metal fittings. El Lissitzky taught at the Vkhutemas Moscow design institute and was a co-founder of Constuctivism. He associated with De Stijl members, Bauhaus designers and Dada artist and their influence can be seen in his designs.
I think that this chair looks too much like a movie theather chair to be placed anywhere else in public. I also think that it looks very uncomfortable because of the harsh hard plastic. One thing that I really don’t like is how far the arms are placed up on the chair it looks like that would be a pain in the butt to hold you arms way up there.
