Why We Love It
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 sustainable 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.
- Inspired by the traditional Danish milking stool as well as the China Chair by Hans J. Wegner, Daumiller set out to create a chair that would be able to withstand both children's play and adults' parties, and at the same time have a sculptural form that radiated strength and timelessness.
- Launched at a time when awareness of sustainable forestry was widening, and tapping into a growing appreciation for alternatives to less renewable woods, the pine armchair became a bestseller in the late 70s.
- Solid in construction, simple in form, and sculptural in expression, the Daumiller Armchair’s straightforward materiality and robust composition pay tribute to Daumiller’s lifelong affinity with nature.
- With no textiles or upholstery, Daumiller ensured that the seat is generously proportioned and that the wood itself is ergonomically adapted to the contours of the body, resulting in a chair that the user can comfortably remain seated in long after the meal is over.
- As a wood, pine has an engaging visual texture, thanks to the interplay of light and dark veins running through it and the knots scattered across the surface, giving each Daumiller Armchair a personality of its own.
- The generous seat and three-part arms and backrest are carefully milled to achieve the necessary curvature, and finished by hand.
- Working in collaboration with Rainer Daumiller himself, GUBI has brought the original design back into production, making the chair available in a lacquered golden pine.
- Constructed from solid FSC®Certified pine wood in a mix comprised of 70% radiata pine.
- Lacquered finish.
- Felt glides included as standard.
- If out of stock, item typically ships in 14 weeks – contact us for details.
