The F51-2 two-seater sofa by Gropius features a minimalist design with suspended cushions that seem to float above the frame. Its distinctive cantilever design envelops the upholstery, creating an effect of lightness. With clean, modern lines, it is an icon of Bauhaus and constructivist modernism.
Tecta
Tecta is synonymous with Bauhaus conceived in a contemporary key, based in Lauenförde, on the curved banks of the Weser. It is in the Tecta studio in this town that for over 40 years the avant-gardes of design have followed one another: the British architect Smithson, the architect of Mies van der Rohe, Sergius Ruegenberg, Jean Prouvé, the designer Stefan Wewerka and Ati Gropius, the daughter of the founder of the Bauhaus.
Walter Gropius
Walter Gropius (1883-1969) was a German architect and designer, founder of the Bauhaus in 1919, a school that revolutionized modern design and architecture, combining art, craftsmanship and industry. Pioneer of Functionalism, he promoted simple and essential forms, based on functionality. With the rise of Nazism he emigrated to the USA, where he taught at Harvard, influencing generations of architects. Among his most famous works are the Bauhaus Building in Dessau and the Pan Am Building in New York, evidence of his impact on 20th century architecture.
