Vintage Highboard by Franz Ehrlich for Hellerau

This highboard from the 602 series is one of Franz Ehrlich's most famous designs and was manufactured for VEB Deutsche Werkstätten Hellerau. A graduate of the Bauhaus, Ehrlich applied its functional design principles to the industrial furniture production of the GDR, making this type of cabinet a milestone in East German design history. The piece is crafted from light ash wood, which lends a clean and inviting look to any living space. The asymmetrical layout, with practical drawers in the lower left and an elegant display cabinet in the upper right, demonstrates the thoughtful combination of storage and display area. Since the founding of the garden city, Deutsche Werkstätten Hellerau has been synonymous with a reform of interior design, a commitment reflected in the high-quality craftsmanship and timeless lines of this model. In this particular version, the highboard is a highly sought-after collector's item that authentically represents the modern aesthetic of the 1950s and 60s.
