The initiative impressively demonstrates that the concepts, ideas and furniture of the Bauhaus era have lost nothing of their fascination and functionality of almost 100 years ago. Tecta thus brings the vitality and enthusiasm of the past forward into the present. As a tangible expression of this fascination, a group of ambitious designers around Tecta are now personally rethinking the classics. Be it icons such as Walter Gropius F51 armchair, Erich Brendel's M10 tea table or Marcel Breuer's D4 club chair. New accents, proportions, plus contemporary and poetic impulses link the concepts of the young designers. With respect and playfulness, they boldly challenge these icons and show us: Bauhaus is alive, open to change, and as up-to-date as ever after 100 years. The radical concept behind Peter Keler’s D1 armchair instantly struck a chord with Tobias Groß. The Cologne-based designer, who also reinterpreted Erich Brendel’s tea table, has again immersed himself deeply in the world of colour. His goal: to make the D1 even more striking with a modern colour scheme. Hence, he applied darker hues to the armchair’s “frame”, while going one shade lighter for the “interior”, i.e. the seat and back. This gives the “father” of all armchairs, which has inspired entire generations of designers, a surprisingly light presence in the room. And a new impact: it looks like an aesthetically perfect frame for the person sitting in it. A frame that immerses the body in a world of shapes and colours like a picture. The basic cube shape of the new D1 series now comes in various shades of blue and slightly lighter pastels. Its fabric, a soft cosy velvet, hugs the sitter like a warm embrace. The castors, which allow you to move and swivel the chair effortlessly, are still as intriguing as ever. For an interesting combination, the D1 can be teamed with Tobias Groß’ new take on the Brendel table: a duo infused with fresh colours and an agile mobility that epitomises modern, contemporary living. ![Ep03685 0006](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/EP03685-0006.jpg)![Ep03685 0077](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/EP03685-0077.jpg)![Ep03685 0168](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/EP03685-0168.jpg)![Ep03685 0003](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/EP03685-0003.jpg)![Ep03685 0169](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/EP03685-0169.jpg)![Ep03685 0008](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/EP03685-0008_190115_125216.jpg) ![Ep03685 0002](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/EP03685-0002.jpg)![Ep03685 0075](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/EP03685-0075.jpg)![Ep03685 0076](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/EP03685-0076.jpg)![Ep03685 0004](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/EP03685-0004.jpg)![Ep03685 0005](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/EP03685-0005.jpg)![Ep03685 0007](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/EP03685-0007_190115_125213.jpg) - [Manufacturer's website](https://www.tecta.de/) All D 1 products - [![D1N](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/EP03685-0001.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/tecta/d1n) - [![D1-3](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/t/tecta/produkte/d-1-sofa-3-seater/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/d-1-sofa-3-seater-1.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/tecta/d1-3) - [![D1-2](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/t/tecta/produkte/d-1-sofa-2-seater/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/d-1-sofa-2-seater-1.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/tecta/d1-2) - [![D1](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/t/tecta/produkte/d-1-armchair/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/d-1-armchair-1.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/tecta/d1) - [All products by TECTA @ Stylepark](https://www.stylepark.com/en/products/manufacturer/tecta) - [TECTA @ Stylepark](https://www.stylepark.com/en/manufacturer/tecta) TECTA Related Articles [REVIEW – SALONE DEL MOBILE & MILAN DESIGN WEEK 2024 Nostalgia and drive 4/23/2024 The Salone del Mobile.Milano and Milan Design Week took place from 16 to 21 April 2024 – read our review to find out what moves the industry and the guests got to see.](https://www.stylepark.com/en/news/salone-del-mobile-milan-design-week-review-design-industry-event-stylepark-magazine) [DESIGN Tecta 2022: D70 ARMCHAIR 5/30/2022 With the armchair "D70" by Tecta, Marco Dessí has designed a timeless piece of furniture inspired by Bauhaus and composed of various geometric figures.](https://www.stylepark.com/en/news/tecta-2022-d70-armchair-marco-dessi-stylepark) [STYLEPARK RAFFLE Hi-Tech meets Low-Tech 4/1/2022 Stylepark is raffling off one "Split Chair" by Tecta.](https://www.stylepark.com/en/news/stylepark-raffle-split-chair-tecta) [STYLEPARK RAFFLE Minimalistic all-rounder 1/1/2021 Stylepark raffles off a copy of the "K7B" by Tecta.](https://www.stylepark.com/en/news/stylepark-raffle-tecta-k7b) [DESIGN TECTA 2020: K7 9/24/2020 Chair ladder step: "K7" by Thomas Schnur for Tecta.](https://www.stylepark.com/en/news/tecta-2020-k7-thomas-schnur)
