 +=== Discussion topics/potential questions ===
 +
 +The principles of standardisation (to only use a small range of identical components) and mass production meant that a reduced language of form had to be used. The Thonet chairs thus embody an important keynote of design – high production volume with reductionist aesthetic – that was to remain ascendant in that form until the 1970s. Are those principles still valid?
 +
 +Comparing the Hill House Chair with the Sitzmaschine, what aspects come to your mind? (usability, function, art/design statement…)Which association do you have with the design of the Hill House Chair?
 +
 +Identify aspects of functionality and of ornaments in the Sitzmaschine. Is there a function in ornaments, too?
