About the Item
1940's, Dutch Modern, Lounge Chair, Amsterdamse school, Armchair, Art Deco, Expressionism, Jugendstil.
Dutch modern set of six chairs of Amsterdamse school. The original upholstery creates an authentic quality. The Amsterdam School is famous for its architecture, both in the Netherlands and internationally. However, the school’s spectacular designs for the interior are less well-known. In the early 1900s, the Amsterdamse School designers radically transformed the applied arts. The survey encompasses over 500 objects and is the fruit of many years of research, and an appeal for help in tracing items related to the movement. The search for objects led to the discovery of numerous designs now in private hands like this piece.
With its expressive and rich forms, the Amsterdam School (1910-1930) is unique in the Netherlands. The movement not only consisted of architecture but also included designs for furniture, lamps, clocks, ceramics, and textile. The style was taken up by all disciplines, particularly graphic design, in which a relatively large number of women were active, including Tine Baanders and Fré Cohen.
Two variants of the Amsterdam School emerged: the more expressive style with exuberant shapes, deep, contrasting colors and distinct contour lines, and the crisper, more geometric style influenced by the journal Wendingen, the platform of the Amsterdam School. Not only architects like Michel de Klerk, sculptors like Hildo Krop and furniture designers such as Harry Dreesen and Louis Deen worked in the Amsterdam School style; the movement also inspired companies like Metz & Co. This led to the movement’s aesthetics extending far wider than one might originally have thought—its influence not only spread throughout the Netherlands but also reached the Dutch East Indies.
