In 1909, the world's first seating furniture made of riveted steel plate was brought to market. Due to its durability and functional design, the Rowac-Schemel was chosen for many factories and schools, such as the Bauhaus. Now, over 100 years later, this industrial icon is handcrafted true to the original in the Ore Mountains of Germany.
Walter Gropius chose the beech / glossy black finish for the Bauhaus.
