Ruud-Jan Kokke Slat Chair 'fauteuil 21', the Netherlands

About the Item

Re-edition of the timeless 'fauteuil 21' chair. Unlimited quantities to order. A design is only successful when a balance has been achieved between material, form, and use. But the user or viewer must also be surprised and stimulated. Despite – or perhaps because of their simplicity and self-evidence, his designs inevitably attract attention and elicit a pronounced aesthetic judgment. Ruud-Jan’s work has been awarded several times nationally and internationally. A number of his designs are already considered classics and his iconic designs are included in the collections of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Ruud-Jan Kokke: "I originally designed 'Fauteuil 21’ as a thanks for a dear friend. I wanted to make an archetypal object, unadorned, understandable, simple and transparent. An object with visible connections, perfect unity of material and construction as well as comfort. Without secrets, you are able to see how everything has been pieced together and made from simply one material, wood. I liked it to be purposeful and in way, gave the user a sense of time. You have to feel supported in this chair but also grasp a feeling of being aware of the moment you’re sitting. The awareness that comes from acknowledging that you are on thin transparent slats while also relaxing from the comfort the chair offers, is for me, something quite special, even exciting. Read, work, find joy in the passing time, or just fall asleep; this chair shares different moments with you.” Please let us know when you have placed the order, which color you want.

    Nice Gerrit Rietveld 'Crate' chair. This chair is designed in 1934, however, we think this is a Cassina edition from the 1970s. This chair is made out of ash wood and has a colorless lacquer.
