Daumiller Armchair

€699

Solid in construction, simple in form, and sculptural in expression, the Daumiller Armchair’s straightforward materiality and robust composition pay tribute to Rainer Daumiller’s lifelong affinity with natural materials and forms. Constructed in certified solid Pine just as the original pieces produced by Hirtshals Sawmill in 1977 were, the seat and backrest are ergonomically adapted to the contours of the body, which only adds to the bold, retro expression of this Danish design classic.

Reintroducing a classic of 1970s danish design.

 
 

STRENGTH AND TIMELESSNESS

 

 

Inspired by the traditional Danish milking stool as well as the China Chair by Hans J. Wegner, Daumiller eflects the designer’s lifelong connection to nature. Heavyweight in looks but surprisingly light, the chair was primarily designed for robustness and functionality – wanted a strong everyday chair that could withstand the rigors of children’s play as well as use at the grown-ups’ dining table. The resulting design – crafted in golden pine – made its debut in 1977, but, like all classics, transcended its era to become truly timeless.

 

GENEROUS COMFORT

 

 

The sustainable softwood pine allows the seat and backrest to be carved to match the shape of the body. With every connection point in the design exposed, and the generous comfort of the chair dependent on its precise, hand-finished contours, attention to detail is essential. Daumiller’s characteristic materiality is retained, as the texture of the wood grain remains visible through the lacquer, ensuring the pine’s rich natural texture is still present in the chair and the whorls and knots that give the wood.

 

RAINER DAUMILLER

 

 

Whether working in synthetic materials or in his beloved pine, Rainer Daumiller always demonstrated an acute understanding of his medium. His ability to ‘listen to materials’ mean that his designs were always inspired by the inherent characteristics of what they were made from. His most celebrated works, including the Daumiller Armchair, were in natural materials, and could almost be described as collaborations with nature, rather than the singular visions of an individual designer.
