Tecta Edition and Bauhaus Heritage

Produced by Tecta, this pair of D40 chairs extends the Bauhaus legacy and Marcel Breuer’s research into tubular steel cantilever structures. Founded in the mid-50s in Lauenförde, the German manufacturer has established itself as a key player in the re-edition of modernist furniture.

Produced under license and in adherence to the original designs, Tecta pieces are distinguished by the quality of their execution, crafted in workshops integrating carpentry, metalwork, and upholstery.

The D40 chairs from the 70s illustrate this fidelity: taut lines, cantilever construction, and formal reduction to the essential. They are among the iconic models of 20th-century design and retain a strong visual presence today.
