Chair

Discussion

FROM THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO’S CATALOG

Peter Behrens designed this chair for a model dining room display at the Wertheim department store in Berlin in 1902. It was one of twelve architect-designed rooms installed in the prominent German store; these rooms helped disseminate modern design to consumers. Behrens repeated the pattern of geometric forms on the furniture, lighting, wallpaper, and carpet of the room.
