Dutch Art Deco Haagse School rationalist desk chair, 1920s

About the Item

A 1920s Dutch Haagse School desk chair in solid oak and with the original seat (springs inside), upholstered in leatherette. The chair has a low backrest which gives it a cubist and modernist appearance. With its modest size and height it is also very suitable as a side chair for styling. The shape of the chairs' legs and back remind of designs by architect Muntendam for L.O.V. Oosterbeek. The seat widens from back to front (50 to 60 cm) Seat height is around 52 cm. Total height is 80 cm. The chair is in very good condition, stable and sturdy. In the 1920s, a style of architecture and furniture design emerged in The Hague that would become known as The Hague School. More sober than the imaginative Amsterdam School and more elegant and luxurious than De Stijl, this style is also referred to as Dutch Art Deco. After the First World War, young designers such as Henk Wouda, Cor Alons and J. Brunott developed their own modern design for the interior. They were inspired by the modernist work of the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The result was the now well-known Dutch 'Hague School' style with its straight and cubist shapes.
