ROWAC  ·  STOOL

Not for this autumn. For the next hundred years.

The ROWAC Schemel was designed in 1909 by Karl Robert Wagner and faithfully revived in 2020 — without modification, because none were needed. Original pieces from the 1920s are still in daily use in workshops and studios. That is not a promise — it is a hundred-year stress test. The Blueprint Edition marks the centenary of the Bauhaus building in Dessau, completed by Walter Gropius in 1926 and celebrating its hundredth anniversary this very year: the colour RAL 5002 carries the name of the Blaupause — the architectural blueprint that turned an idea into a building. Cold-rolled steel, every connection riveted, visible and repairable: a gift for people who choose well once and leave it at that.

Who is the ROWAC Schemel the right gift for?

For people who do not compromise on the things they touch every day — architects, designers, makers, craftspeople, anyone who works and lives with considered quality. For someone who sees a stool not as an afterthought but as a position. And for anyone drawn to the spirit of the Bauhaus: the belief that things must be properly thought through to survive. The ROWAC Schemel is not a gift that sits on a shelf — it gets used, and it stays.

What is the Blueprint Edition?

The Blueprint Edition marks the centenary of the Bauhaus building in Dessau, completed by Walter Gropius in 1926 — a building celebrating its hundredth anniversary in this very year, 2026. “Blueprint” is a Blaupause: the drawing that turns an idea into something that can actually be built. The Schemel was in daily use in the workshops of the Bauhaus in Weimar and Dessau — as a working tool, not a decoration. The colour RAL 5002 carries that moment: a deep, precise blue that holds its presence without imposing it. The first 100 pieces of the edition also included a limited fine art print of the original Bauhaus Dessau blueprint (50 × 60 cm).

Why riveted — and not welded?

Because a rivet is self-explanatory: you can see exactly how two pieces are held together. Riveted means every connection is visible, honest, and repairable by any metalworker — even a hundred years from now. Under overload, a riveted joint tends to deform rather than fail suddenly. The seat plate is fixed with specialist screws and can be replaced independently. What ROWAC calls a construction philosophy, others might call sustainability — but the philosophy came first.

Can I order the ROWAC Schemel as a corporate gift?

Yes — especially for architecture practices, design studios, and agencies that want to give something that will still be on a desk in ten years. Compact, clear in its statement, with a story behind it that no marketing brief could have written.
