Mid century Bauhaus Tecta C35 Leather Stool by Anton Lorenz, 1980s Germany,

An elegant example of Bauhaus-inspired furniture design, this vintage Tecta C35 stool combines minimalist aesthetics, refined materials, and timeless functionality. Designed by Anton Lorenz, this distinctive piece reflects the principles of modernist design, where clean lines, innovative construction, and everyday usability come together.

The stool features a generously padded seat upholstered in elegant black leather, supported by a sculptural chrome-plated tubular steel frame. Its flowing cantilever-style construction creates a light, architectural silhouette, giving the piece a sophisticated presence without overwhelming the surrounding space.

The contrast between the smooth black leather and polished chrome makes this stool a versatile addition to modernist interiors, executive offices, designer living rooms, and curated mid-century furniture collections.

Design & Craftsmanship

Anton Lorenz was an important figure in the development of modern tubular steel furniture and the wider Bauhaus design movement. His work explored the possibilities of bent steel tubing, creating furniture with a lighter visual appearance and a distinctly modern character.

Manufactured by the renowned German furniture company Tecta, the C35 stool reflects this design heritage through its restrained geometry, functional form, and carefully balanced proportions.

The sculptural chrome frame and upholstered seat make it suitable as a footstool, occasional seat, or complementary piece alongside a Bauhaus lounge chair.

Condition

Good vintage condition, with signs of age and use consistent with its period. The black leather upholstery and chrome-plated frame retain their distinctive vintage appeal.
