About the Item

A striking 1960s modernist armchair, with an elegant asymmetry and original finish, constructed in the spirit of De Stijl. With its radical asymmetry and balance, this piece demonstrates a playful yet disciplined approach to proportion: one armrest raised, the other absent, creating a visual tension that is countered by the structural clarity of the rectilinear frame. The chair retains its original unrestored white painted surface, with subtle wear and patina consistent with age, enhancing its authenticity and sculptural presence. Its raw, geometric silhouette speaks directly to the ideals of early modernism—reduction to essentials, exploration of spatial relationships, and harmony through asymmetry. Not only a functional seating object but also an architectural gesture, where the interplay of planes and voids transforms the everyday chair into an abstract composition. A rare opportunity to acquire an evocative piece of mid-century Dutch design, deeply rooted in the legacy of Rietveld and the De Stijl movement.
