I came across the Classroom Chair at a Phillips de Pury auction earlier.
Now NYC based J. Lohman Gallery has one for sale.
According to Lohman:
Stefan Wewerka
“Vertreterstuhl” or “Klassenraumstuhl” (“Classroom Chair”)
Germany, c. 1970
Lacquered wood
C. 30 ¾ in. (78 cm) high, 26 in. (66 cm) wide
Originally called the “Vertreterstuhl”, the chairs were part of an installation of a “classroom” at Galerie Müller in Cologne in 1971. Since then the chair is also called “classroom chair”. Literature: Take a seat: Meisterwerke des Stuhldesigns – Masterpieces of Chair Design, Chart Gallery, Basel, 2005, pp. 102-103.Object No.: 8005
Price on request.
Lohman specializes in European design and decorative arts from the 1920s -1980s from mainly German designers and artistic movements.
A “Vertreterstuhl” is an Sales Rep Chair in the English language.
