A sofa and chair from the 2001 Series, based on a design by Dieter Rams from 1962,


A sofa and chair from the 2001 Series, based on a design by Dieter Rams from 1962, - Design

manufactured by Wolfgang Feierbach, plain fibreglass reinforced plastic frames on wheels, light-brown leather covering, sofa: height approx. 80 cm, length approx. 154 cm, depth approx. 80 cm; chair: height approx. 80 cm, width approx. 86 cm, depth approx. 80 cm. (MHA)

Initially, Dieter Rams and Wolfgang Feierbach were business partners. The series designed by Dieter Rams was only produced by Wolfgang Feierbach, a pioneer in the field of fibreglass production, until 1965, on behalf of Vitsoe. Eventually, Vitsoe ended the collaboration due to financial cutbacks. After Wolfgang Feierbach had taken the complete furniture production over under his own auspices, Dieter Rams and Wolfgang Feiberach started a lawsuit. Unlike Vitsoe, Feierbach produced the shell as a single-piece cast, as the individual parts tended to buckle. When Vitsoe also filed a lawsuit, Wolfgang Feierbach ceased production in the early 1970s.
