As the managing director of Standard Möbel, he played a crucial role in the dissemination and marketing of modern furniture, particularly that with tubular steel structures, which profoundly influenced the avant-garde style of the Bauhaus. For Anton Lorenz, tubular steel embodied more than any other material the spirit of the Bauhaus movement in its quest for a perfect "machine" aesthetic. It enabled the creation of radically new constructions, such as the cantilever chair or Breuer's B3 club chair. At the helm of Standard Möbel, he collaborated with iconic Bauhaus figures like MART, Stam, and Marcel Breuer. He also created his own models, such as the "LS 22" reclining chair and the D35 cantilever chair, presented here. Anton Lorenz passed away in the United States in 1964.
