Product description
Designed 1901, manufactured by the Vereinigte Werkstätten, Munich, for use in the Hauses Lange, Tübingen, 1901, dark stained oak, rush.
401⁄2in. (103cm.) height; 22in. (56cm.) width; 193⁄4in. (50cm.) depth
Professor Konrad Lange's home on Mörikestr.1, Tübingen, was Pankok's first architectural commission. Required to also complete the interior decoration, Pankok's vision and the associated furniture and fittings were elegantly austere. Later described by the influential architect Adolf Schneck as being amongst the most important designers of the Art Nouveau period, Pankok had responded to the avant-garde British Arts & Crafts movement, and contributed to the establishment of early Twentieth Century Modernism in Germany.
Lit: Hans Klaiber, Berhard Pankok 1872-1943, Stuttgart, 1973, p.80, pl.119 (side chair version illustrated, also pp.78-79 for discussion of this interior)
Angelika Lorenz, Berhard Pankok Malerei, Graphik, Design im Prisma des Jugendstils, Münster, 1986, pp.98-103 (illustration of interior of Haus Lange, construction drawing of side chair version)
