Farmer
The construction of casualness. 8 pieces of wood, 4 square rods, 2 fabric panels. All built strictly at right angles. The fabric panels are laid crosswise. 2 metal clamps. Done. The first phenomenon is that such minimalist components when put together produce such a laid-back piece of furniture. The second is that it looks as if it has just been created. Designer Gerd Lange came up with the identical predecessor of the Farmer chair back in 1965.
Despite the minimalist design, every detail has been lovingly thought through. Like the lapping of the solid wooden planks, the backrest that can be freely moved forwards and backwards and tilted.
Designed with geometric consistency and yet not a hint of formality.
Even waiting becomes a pleasant pastime
Interview with designer Gerd Lange and COR owner Leo Lübke
A manifesto of longevity
Not only the style is designed to last, but also the material: solid wood oiled through and through.
DIY from the days when DIY did not yet exist
Connect the slats, pull the cover tight, finished. At the time, the modular principle of Gerd Lange’s design was ground-breaking. And so simple and playful that any layman could assemble their very own Farmer easily, almost playfully – both then and now.
