Description
    Beginning in 1914, the architect and applied artist Oskar Strnad taught architecture as a full professor at the Imperial Royal School of Arts and Crafts in Vienna—and by the time of his death in 1935, he was to have left his mark on an entire generation of architects as both a teacher and a theoretician. Early works by him and by students from his architecture class, as well as by students from the architecture classes of Josef Hoffmann (1870–1956) and Heinrich Tessenow (1876–1950), were shown at the exhibition Einfacher Hausrat [Simple Housewares], which was held by the museum in 1916 and focused on usable and reasonably priced furniture types made of solid wood without ornamentation for the war-stricken local populace. Strnad’s armchair, made of turned wooden rods, is based on the rural Brewster chairs that made their appearance in 17th century New England. Despite such chairs’ rustic simplicity, their construction and the turning of the rods require a great deal of effort and precision workmanship. (Hackenschmidt, Sebastian)
