Modern classic style and furniture of the Bauhaus Period.

Talking about modern classic style and furniture of the Bauhaus Period does not only refer to the objects and products of the protagonists working and teaching in Weimar, but also covers a contemporary global rational design style: a classic style. In this wider sense we have to list a lot of people (from Scotland to Denmark, from Ireland as well as from the United States) that have contributed to the formation of such a classic style. You will meet those pioneers of precious designer furniture with some of their reeditions as examples of modern classic style furniture of the Bauhaus Period in our attractive online store, which offers only top quality products.



Le Corbusier

The works of famous architect Charles Edouard Jeanneret-Gris, called Le Corbusier, are being represented by several impressing products offered by Classic Style. Among other pieces of furniture you may also find Corbusier´s armchair LC1 made of chrom and leather (known as basculante) or his chaise longue, abbreviated LC4. Our supply comprises models such as LC2 and LC3 just as the series Grand Comfort, all being available as chairs as well as sofas. Buyers may choose here between two-seaters and three-seaters. Not to forget the rotatable chair LC7 that customers may alternately order with or without a stool belonging to it. Last but not least the legendary glass table LC6 rounds off what we all together have been owing to Le Corbusier.



Harry Bertoia

Our collection wouldn´t be complete in any case without featuring Harry Bertoia, an italian who emigrated to the United States with his family in 1930. He gained his international reputation by teaching and in addition establishing the metalworking studio in Cranbrook. Closely connected with Charles and Ray Eames he became famous for his innovative and also commercially successful wire chairs, two of them being proudly presented at www.classicstyle.org.



Charles Eames

Charles Rennie Mackintosh

Enjoy the incomparable geometrical structure inhering Charles Rennie Mackintosh´s seatings, now available as reproductions of his chairs Hillhouse, Ingram and also the famous Willow. These and other pieces from Mackintosh as his square wooden table or as well his black lacquered sideboard made of ash tree have always represented aesthetic variety embedded in modern classic style.



Gerrit Rietveld

Red & Blue are synonymous with Gerit Rietveld´s bauhaus lamp as with the wooden chair Zig Zag, also created by this famous belgian artist. The chipboard Schröder marks another milestone of Rietveld´s career, well-known by insiders and experts and continously looked after by consumers. The timeless quality of Rietveld´s furniture is being demonstrated on our website.

We are delighted to offer his exceptional table with its basement designed in lacquered ash wood and covered by a crystal top.
