Frans Willigers Furniture

After working in architectural offices, Frans Willigers decided to dedicate himself to his great passion, designing furniture. Every design starts from questions about the furniture. These may relate to the construction, material or use of the furniture. However, they can also be about the history or associations that furniture evokes. The end result is a direct, unambiguous translation of these starting points.

In recent years, the search for the essence of designs has led to the creation of abstract objects. These objects deal with elementary matters of spatial design such as gravity, balance, emptiness, mass, shadow, dark and light.

Oak Lounge Chair with Striped Cushions, The Netherlands 1960s
Located in Utrecht, NL
This 1960s oak lounge chair, originating from the Netherlands, mirrors typical Dutch mid-century furniture - embodying simplicity and functionality. Mid-century modern furniture was mainly designed with the urban home in mind, and Dutch furniture makers aspired to affect lives with good functional design. This chair has a stunning wooden oak frame, paired with fully upholstered cushions in a premium striped fabric. With a timeless and sturdy design, it is especially successful at balancing modernity and comfort. The composition plays with geometry, combining both the straight and curved lines of the frame with evenly-spaced, straight wooden slats, spherical finials, and legs that are tapered towards the bottom. The details draw attention to the beautiful oak wood colour and grain, whilst the choice of material offers a strong frame and a smooth finish. Oak was a popular material for furniture design in Europe during the mid-century era for several reasons; it is a hardwood that is known for its durability, making it a practical choice for furniture that is designed to last. Additionally, oak has a distinctive and attractive grain pattern that adds visual interest to furniture pieces. The cushions fit snugly within the chair, resting on all sides of the inner frame, providing an extremely comfortable seating experience. The tufting on the upholstery also features buttons that accentuate the design of the luxurious fabric choice. This lounge chair is representative of mid-century craftsmanship from the Netherlands - whilst also being reminiscent of the Eric Merthen “Amiral” chair...

Sculptural Lounge Chair by Bas Van Pelt 'Attr.', The Netherlands, ca 1950s
By Bas Van Pelt
Located in Utrecht, NL
This chair is full of exceptional features and details that make it a unique example of the creative overflow that defined mid-century modernism in Europe. The sculptural design is paired with the organicity of the material and various forms. While the design is no short of exceptional solutions, they are also in service of functionality and comfort. This is a chair of extreme comfort, with multiple joinery and construction techniques. It is a little lower than the standard lounge chair, and that is exactly what provides great ergonomics and aesthetics. The seat and back form an obtuse angle which assures the perfect lounging position. The removable cushions upholstered in brown cow hide add even more comfort, while the fabric’s texture stands out nicely against the smooth wooden surfaces. The flowing structure displays beautifully curved lines and rounded edges that are broken by the straight wooden slats on the back. The perfect balance between the fluid and straight lines is typical of Bas van Pelt’s seating designs. The subtle swirl carvings in the front are playful details that further show off the high level of design and craftsmanship. While the second half of the 20th century saw the takeover of mass production and many - now iconic - futuristic designs, this chair preserves the value and beauty of master craftsmanship and exquisite materials. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chair’s cushions have been reupholstered recently in premium cow hide. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice. Please reach out for more information. Dimensions: 25.19 in W x 313.46 in D x 31.49 in H; Seat height 15.35 in; Arm height 23.81 in 64 cm W x 85 cm D x 80 cm H; Seat height 39 cm; Arm height 60.5 cm About the designer: Bas Van Pelt (1900 Dordrecht (NL) - 1945 Sandbostel (DE)) was a well-known Dutch interior and furniture designer, known for the clarity and quality of his designs. His works created in the 1930s and 1940s are regarded for their progressive design and quality. While he is most well-known for his chair designs, van Pelt was also active as an interior designer. He also designed fabrics for window...
