The first Rowac stool with three iron legs and a round wooden seat was designed in 1905.
It came from the German foundry in Chemnitz, Saxony, founded in 1888 by Robert Wagner.
These stools were used at the Bauhaus school in Dessau, as well as by the German Trade Union Confederation in 1923 and many other companies.
These avant-garde stools of the Werkbund were a great inspiration to France and to industrial design in the era of the revolutionary Peter Behrens, whose students included Le Corbusier, W. Gropius and L. Mies van der Rohe.
