The Wilkhahn dining chair from the 1970s is a notable example of German constructivist and minimalist design. Crafted entirely from solid wood, it is stained in a subdued, olive-green hue with a matte to semi-matte finish. Natural wood grain remains visible, and the patina reveals lighter wood where the stain has worn—most prominently along edges and corners. The geometric construction features a rectangular frame with straight, blocky legs and a seat composed of four gently curved wooden slats. The backrest consists of two horizontal, also slightly curved slats, attached to upright supports. Visible joinery and a circular cut-out in the side of the seat frame enhance the utilitarian character. The absence of upholstery and metal elements maintains a cohesive material narrative and an austere aesthetic. Condition: distinctly worn, with numerous scratches, scuffs, and minor dents, structurally stable and with no signs of modern restoration.This chair tells the story of the German avant-garde of the 1970s, when form was dictated by function and the rawness of materials and geometric proportions embodied a manifesto of modernity.
