About the Item

Armchair by artist Frans Bolscher and made in The Netherlands in his own atelier in 1970. This stunning sculpted armchair is a delight for the eye and is right where art meets design. Hand made in his own atelier, clearly a lot of effort went into making this symmetrical and ergonomic design. From the looks of it, it is very reminiscent to the works of Wendell Castle. This piece is made of Oak wood with dark Wenge ornaments and has stunning woodworking details and is beautiful from every angle. All in all, a nice chance to obtain!

Martin Visser SE20 chair 't Spectrum Netherlands 1988
By Martin Visser
Located in Roosendaal, Noord Brabant
Super rare two tone version of the SE20 chair designed by Martin Visser and manufactured by 't Spectrum, Netherlands in 1988. The chair is made from yellow and off-white painted plywood. This unique chair has a ultimate modernist and contemporary appearance. This design blends various shapes and design techniques seamlessly into one iconic piece. The backrest has a slight angle for comfort and a nicely curved seat. The front legs are ingeniously made in a triangle shape for stability and are placed in the opposite angle to the back legs. Its quite a heavy and solid chair and is partly hollow which is found in the seat. Its held together by chrome-plated bolts which are made visible and give that little extra to the design. Its a really playful chair and could act more as an art piece than an actual chair. Its also attractive from every side. The chair is in good original condition with minor wear from age. Provenance; Father of Nynke Tynagel, then Studio Job Collection...
