Продолжая разговор об эволюции офисного кресла, обратимся к работам дизайнеров 1930-1940-х гг. В этот период промышленность предлагала конторским работникам множество разных моделей, не отличавшихся революционными решениями в плане эргономики (да и сам этот термин еще не вошел в обиход дизайнеров). Рынок был преимущественно насыщен разнообразными вариациями кресел «Tan-Sad», аскетичными (хоть и симпатичными) стульями для машинисток (на фото 3-4 запечатлены стулья Виллема Гиспена, одно из которых подозрительно похоже на работу Шарлотты Перриан) или более традиционными креслами банковских служащих. К числу советских представителей последней категории можно отнести кабинетный стул из гарнитура «Хлеба коммунизма», спроектированного в 1937 г. для смоленского дома-коммуны Игорем Крестовским.

Let’s resume our discussion of the evolution of the office chair and focus on designs that were available in the 1930-1940s. The choice of office chair designs was quite diverse, but most of them failed to offer any revolutionary value in terms of their ergonomics (the term itself was not commonly used then in the design community). Offices were generally equipped with Tan-Sad’s chairs or their copycats, spartan but aesthetically pleasing typist chairs (pictures 3 and 4 show designs by Willem Gispen one of which is nearly identical to Perriand’s chair mentioned earlier), and more traditional-looking banker’s chairs. The last pictures in this selection show a Soviet variation of the latter created by Igor Krestovsky in 1937 as part of a furniture suite titled “The Harvest of Communism” he designed for what was referred to as “a house-commune” in Smolensk.
