HANS THEO BAUMANN (Switzerland, 1924-2016). Postmodern armchair, 1985. Stained ash wood. Good condition. With Baumann label. Measurements: 78 x 60 x 60 cm. The armchair in tender responds to a design of rounded forms and rounded volumes, cozy and comfortable, with a structure of traditional base renewed in modern key through the color and the purification of the forms. It masterfully combines dark blue and greenish-blue tones as well as a play of holes in both the backrest and the back legs. Hans-Theo Baumann began his training as an apprentice in a textile workshop, and later studied at the Academy of Applied Arts in Dresden between 1943 and 1946. He then studied graphic design and interior design at the School of Decorative Arts in Basel, and in 1955 opened his own studio. Around this time he began his collaboration with Rosenthal, which lasted until the 1970s. He also designed ceramic and glass objects for various firms. In 1959 he became a founding member of the Verband Deutscher Industrie Designer (VDID: Association of German Industrial Designers), of which he was president until 1970. Currently his designs are present in prestigious collections around the world, such as the MoMA in New York.
