ABOUT PRODUCTID 20089
The 'Rostock' chair, produced between 1960 and 1975 by VEB Vereinigte Sitzmöbelindustrie Neuhausen in former East Germany, stands as a representative example of mid-century modernist utility furniture. Its frame is crafted from solid beech wood with a warm, matte finish that accentuates the natural grain. The slender, straight legs and minimalist silhouette highlight the functionalist ethos of its period. The seat is upholstered in a deep, navy blue fabric with a soft, velvety texture, while the backrest is divided: the upper section features a smooth black band, and the lower part is covered with a bold, baroque-inspired textile—an elaborate pattern of birds and lush flowers in shades of pink, green, and cream. The chair is presented in excellent, restored condition: the beech has been refreshed, the upholstery is new, and the entire piece shows no visible signs of wear—ready for immediate use.This chair echoes the narrative of East German modernism, where clarity of form meets discreet individuality. The honest, streamlined frame recalls the era’s focus on practicality, while the unexpected flourish of the decorative backrest hints at a desire for expression within the framework of serial production. It is a piece that seems to speak of an age when even the most utilitarian designs carried a subtle signature—a trace of personality amid uniformity.The 'Rostock' chair may be paired with a minimalist, light-wood dining table or
