An excellent documentation of the whole range of Erich Dieckmann's
furniture design. Dieckmann was one of the most important
designers of modern furniture at the Bauhaus, Weimar. When the
Bauhaus moved to Dessau in 1925, he transferred to the Staatliche
Bauhochschule in Weimar, where he was head of the carpentry
workshop until 1930. Like Breuer and Mies, Dieckmann exper-
imented with steel tubing and bentwood but is primarily known for his
stringently geometric wooden furniture.
