Prof. Karl Nothelfer * 14 June 1900 – 20 May 1980 Since the beginning of the 15th century, the Nothelfer family of carpenters has lived continuously in the former town of Überlingen. Every carpenter at that time mastered all aspects of woodworking, and the Nothelfers were no exception. They could even carve altars and figures and adorn them with gold, silver and paint. (Churches in Owingen and Hödingen). Some family members lived and worked in Hedingen or Hödingen, as the jubilarian Karl Nothelfer did in 1975. However, his father, Karl Anton Nothelfer, was the eldest of seven siblings and was therefore able to take over his father's carpentry business in Überlingen. However, Karl Anton Nothelfer was unable to take over his father's carpentry business in Überlingen. Instead, he moved to the industrial town of Singen with his young wife, Rosalie Hanner, and founded his own carpentry workshop. Hohenzollern in 1896, and he moved to the former Poststraße, where he founded his own carpentry workshop. He had a high sense of quality and form, and was a member of the German Werkbund before 1914. Karl Nothelfer and his three siblings grew up in such an environment. After attending primary and secondary school in Singen, Karl learnt the carpenter's trade in his father's workshop, before moving on to the Badische Landes-Kunstschule in Karlsruhe. , where he studied architecture. The well-known furniture professor also worked there at that time: Fritz Spannagel (born Freiburg, 1891; settled Ittendorf Castle near Meersburg in 1938; died 1957). burg (died 1957). In 1928, the gifted young architect received a teaching assignment at the Karlsruhe School of Art, but he followed his teacher Spannagel to Berlin in the same year. Berlin. He worked there as a teacher from 1928 to 1945, becoming a professor in 1931. Berlin Tischler-Schule, later known as the Bauschule für Raumgestaltung. The furniture he created in Berlin gained international recognition through numerous exhibitions and lectures. He became nationally known and influential. His furniture designs ushered in a new era of German and European furniture design. European furniture design. At the World Exhibition in Paris in 1937, Prof. Nothelfer was awarded the Golden Medal for his work in the furniture sector. For his work in the furniture sector. The first summary and evaluation of his furniture designs is presented in his seminal work, Das Sitzmöbel, published in 1942, was the first compendium of its kind in the world. world. In 1950, he published his second book, Furniture. Both books and a series of brochures were published by Verlag Otto Maier in Ravensburg. Karl Nothelfer continued to work intensively on seating furniture design in the years after 1945. In 1950, he made the important invention of the two-legged skid-base chair, which has since become widely accepted. Even the most distinguished American furniture companies, such as Miller and Knoll International, , use the skid as the main design feature of desks and chairs. At the same time, N. was pioneering in redesigning German school furniture and seating for industry. He succeeded in adapting his furniture designs, which originated in woodworking and craftsmanship, to modern technical possibilities of the industry. He thus became a leading figure in the redesign of schoolroom furnishings. The architect Nothelfer reflects on his own work, that his main contribution was in the field of seating furniture, although this was not really his profession.

Antique, New and Vintage Wingback Chairs

They may not offer structural support, but the wings on antique and vintage wingback chairs certainly do have a purpose or did, when the design was first conceived in England in the 1600s.

Back then, the armchair protrusions were meant to protect the sitter from drafts and from the strong heat radiating from the large fireplaces that were popular at the time. This explains why the wingback is so strongly associated with cozying up by the fireplace.

Although the functional aspect of a wingback may be obsolete in the 21st century, the chairs have maintained their popularity over the years and have seen waves of revivals, from mid-century modern spinoffs to playful contemporary adaptations (like the Bear chair by Pierre Yovanovitch, wherein the place of wings are furry ears — a cheeky send-up of Hans Wegner’s iconic mid-century Papa Bear chair).
