ROWAC – THE ONCE FORGOTTEN BAUHAUS STOOL
In 1909, Rowac launched the world's first piece of seating made of lightweight sheet steel, Model 1. This was the starting signal for the development of ergonomic seating. Numerous factories and schools were equipped with the so-called ROWAC STOOL. In the 1920s, this piece of furniture became so popular that architects specifically chose it for their projects. This included Walter Gropius, who used the Rowac stool for his new Bauhaus building in Dessau.
EVERYTHING IS NAIL-PROOF – Unlike conventional welded steel furniture, which breaks when overloaded, riveted constructions bend only slightly. Stiffeners provide additional support and at the same time allow for an astonishingly light weight. It is no wonder that Rowac stools have been in use for over 100 years.
