24 Euro Chair is a Do It Yourself-Chair

Thanks to my friend Matthias for forwarding on information about this chair. Definitely another candidate for an interview!


Made from one wooden board: The 24 Euro Chair is a Do It Yourself-Chair, that costs 24 Euro and can be built in 24 hours. The idea: Timeless and high quality design for everybody. The chair is inspired by modern classics and is part of a furniture project called „Hartz IV Möbel“ (german welfare). These furnitures are not for sale. The Do It Yourself process is what counts. Someone who used to be on welfare invented this idea in a VHS School (Community Center). The VHS offers now 24 Euro Chair workshops. Construction plan is for free. Find out more here

  1. "inspired by
    • the unexcitedness of the Do-It-Yourself "Crate Chair" by Gerrit Rietveld (1938)
    • the proportions of the armchairs by Erich Dieckmann (1928)
    • the purism of the Wassily Club armchairs by Marcel Breuer (1925) and
    • the filigree des Barcelona Chairs von Mies Van der Rohe (1929)"
