The chairmaking tradition of Rabenau is almost 400 years old. The many special skills of Rabenau's chairmakers that have grown during this time have survived industrialization, and they have survived national ownership and the Federal Republic's Vocational Training Ordinance unscathed. Today, 16 factories work under the umbrella of a cooperative. They manufacture chairs and tables in a manner committed to the best traditions of the trade. What the Rabenau chairmakers are capable of, they show above all in the faithful reproduction of historical models. In 1910, the Rabenauers supplied the following seating furniture and tables to furnish the four hundred year old "Old Nikolai School" at the Nikolaikirchhof in Leipzig. For the reopening of the renovated building as a cultural center in 1994, the furniture was built a second time in Rabenau. For "private use" they are only available from us.

Rabenau furniture frames are made of solid beech wood, which is stained and polished. Wood joints are tapped and cold glued. Rod milling on the legs.

The seats are either leather seats or wickerwork: Leather seats consist of a plywood base padded with upholstery wadding; black cowhide is fixed to it with decorative nails. For the wickerwork seats, the split, stained peddigree is woven three times by hand through holes drilled in the chair rabbet.
