This edition of the Gropius CS1 Chair combines the Bauhaus-inspired silhouette of Kateryna Sokolova’s design with an archival fabric created in collaboration between TheO Wallpapers and the Ivan Franko Theatre. Upholstered in the Kazymyr Malevych textile — a bold reinterpretation of avant-garde sketches — it captures both the clarity of Bauhaus form and the radical energy of early 20th-century abstraction. The result is a collectible accent chair where heritage and contemporary design converge.

Designers Collaboration
The Archive Fabric & Wallpapers collection is the outcome of a dialogue between theatre and contemporary design. TheO Wallpapers worked with the Ivan Franko Theatre to revive stage sketches and avant-garde drawings from the early 20th century, bringing them to life as textiles and wallpapers for interiors. Each pattern in the series carries the name of the artist whose work inspired it, linking the discipline of theatre with the craft of contemporary furniture making.

Avant-Garde Designer Chair
Presented in the Kazymyr Malevych upholstery, this edition of the Gropius CS1 Chair brings forward the radical energy of Kazymyr Malevych’s Suprematism. The pattern draws from sketches and compositional fragments characterised by Malevych’s abstract geometry — black squares, intersecting rectangles and planes of stark contrast — that moved away from depicting reality and instead treated form itself as the subject.
Malevych, born in Kyiv in 1879, was a pioneer of the avant-garde. His manifesto From Cubism to Suprematism (1915), together with works such as Black Square and White on White, redefined the course of modern art by shifting focus to pure shapes, tension and spatial harmony.

Designer of Archival Fabrics
Inspired by archival sketches and artistic visions, Yevhen Lytvynenko created a collection of fabrics and wallpapers that reinterprets the language of the Ukrainian and European avant-garde. Each design reflects the distinct style of its source: the radical geometry of Kazymyr Malevych, the dynamic theatricality of Oleksandra Ekster, the graphic elegance of Heorhiy Narbut, the vibrant colour harmonies of Sonia Delaunay and the architectural sensibility of Vasyl Krychevskyi. Together, these reimagined motifs preserve the spirit of the era when art and theatre were at the forefront of innovation, while translating it into a contemporary design medium.
