1930-1939 Classic Modernism
Another strategy for overcoming the crisis, with which Embru once again demonstrated its pioneering spirit, was its collaboration with architects of the "New Building" movement. A cooperation that - to be blunt - was not a great economic success, but with which Embru helped to write one of the most important chapters in Swiss design history. From 1930 onwards, a diverse range of type furniture was created. It ranged from cantilever chairs in various designs and tables to Swiss style icons such as Alfred Altherr's Landibank or Werner Max Moser's Fauteuil and the 2072 couch, better known as the Le-Corbusier couch. Today, some of these models are being produced again by Embru.
The new ideas also found expression in a piece of school furniture, in the design of which the Bauhaus graduate and Breuer employee Gustav Hassenpflug played a decisive role. In 1934, Embru revolutionised school furniture by separating the school desk and the school bench, which had previously been firmly connected to each other, and by making the two parts height-adjustable.
