Italian term or phrase: uno scrittorio
Context: In questa seduta xxxx continua la sua ricerca sulla struttura con snodo a tre assi. Spesso egli la utilizzerà nei suoi arredi di interni tra 1918 e 1924: ad esempio è presente nello studio medico del dottor xxxxx a xxxxx dove in una foto d’epoca compare insieme a uno scrittorio, un mobile contenitore e la prima versione a quattro segmenti della lampada a sospensione in tubolari luminosi.
Questa è la copia che fa parte dell’arredo per gli interni di xxxxx.
La sedia avrà un immediato successo e sarà utilizzata in diverse varianti negli interni non solo da xxxx, ma anche da altri autori quali xxxxx (interni per xxxx nel 1919) e xxxx (nel distretto di xxxxxxxxxx).
Nel 1923 viene esposta nella mostra al Bauhaus di Weimar e da allora diventerà un punto di riferimento fondamentale per la ricerca condotta da xxxxx all’interno del laboratorio di falegnameria della celebre scuola tedesca di design.
