About Erwin HauerErwin Hauer is an Austrian-born American sculptor who began his studies at Vienna’s Academy of Applied Arts and continued under Josef Albers at Yale University. He is considered a father of Modular Constructivism where carefully structured modules allow intricate and in some cases infinite patterns of repetition. Hauer was a faculty member at Yale University from 1957 to 1990 and his works are included in many public collections including the Museum of Modern Art, Brooklyn Museum of Art, Art Institute of Chicago, Wadsworth Atheneum and Museum of the National Academy of Design.

Erwin Hauer Studio CollectionErwin Hauer has spent his life exploring sculptures that celebrate infinite continuous surfaces. Some of these are used as light diffusing walls and room dividers and have been lauded as “quintessential works of modernism.” Spinneybeck has partnered with Hauer to reinterpret his iconic Continua designs in Spinneybeck leathers. These modular wall planks allow his work to be re-created in a new material and extensive color range.

Design 406Design 406 planks are milled from high density MDF, then vacuum formed with high-quality Spinneybeck leather. The leather hides are seamed with a decorative machine stitch at random intervals so as not to detract from the primary pattern. This smart modular system ships in individual planks which come together to form an uninterrupted composition.
