Armchair and door
by BEHRENS, Peter, Wood, leather (chair), aluminium (door)
The success of his exhibitions in 1899 led to his appointment to the K�nstlerkolonie in Darmstadt by Ernst-Ludwig, Grand Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt. With Joseph Maria Olbrich, he was a dominant artistic influence in the Darmstadt colony. In July 1900, work began on his own house there, which he had designed, together with furnishings and tableware.
The armchair and door are from the music room of the Behrens house in Darmstadt.
