Gijs Bakker seatbelt chairs for Castelijn Netherlands 1978

About the Item

This super rare lot of four easy chairs was designed by Gijs Bakker for Castelijn, Holland, in 1978. Known as the "Webbing Chair," they quickly earned the nickname "Seatbelt Chair" due to their distinctive seats made of woven seatbelts. Designed in 1978, these chairs were produced for only a brief period, making them exceptionally rare. The Webbing Chair series included various models such as dining chairs and lounge chairs, available with or without arms. This particular set features the low and large easy chairs, which are the largest and most comfortable model in the series. They are crafted from grey lacquered beech wood with seats made of matching grey seatbelts, providing both durability and a unique aesthetic. Currently, we have four of these chairs in stock, and they are priced and sold individually. These chairs not only offer a piece of design history but also deliver exceptional comfort and style, making them a coveted addition to any collection. Not only constructional but also aesthetic these are very unique chairs and are a design with a bit of humour. Gijs Bakker is a renowned Dutch designer and co-founder of the influential design collective Droog. Born in 1942, Bakker's work spans furniture, jewelry, and industrial design, characterized by his innovative use of materials and conceptual approach. He is celebrated for his ability to blend functionality with artistic expression, creating pieces that challenge conventional design norms. Bakker’s designs, such as the iconic "Seatbelt Chair," reflect his commitment to innovation and his influence on contemporary design is profound, making him a pivotal figure in the design world.
