About the Item

This elegant pair of armchairs embody the distinctive design principles of the Nieuwe Haagse School (New Hague School) movement, which emerged from the Netherlands and peaked between 1925 and 1940, bringing uniformity to the cityscape. In furniture design the style is characterised by a focus on symmetry and angular cubist forms, drawing a great deal of influence from Berlage's rationalism, the arts and crafts movement, the works of Frank Lloyd Wright, and De Stijl. In 1920, when the term "Nieuwe Haagse School" was first mentioned by the architect C.J. Blaauw, it was not in a positive way. Blaauw thought little of the latest developments in modern architecture: "Typical of The Hague" was how the designer spoke of the style. Yet, these chairs and other furniture created during this period continue to captivate design enthusiasts today for their charm and timeless allure. The construction of this pair is quite traditional and robust. Each armchair features a solid yet graceful frame, crafted from a rich-toned wood, which highlights the natural grain of the material. The frames recall modernist influences, such as Cubism and De Stijl in its forms and lines. The horizontal lines leave open spaces, emphasizing the openness of the design, yet the construction is still grounding. The arms and backrests showcase a sense of airiness, seemingly crafted without any joinery. This neat detail showcases the high level of woodworking and creates an effortless look. The arms’ angles are aligned with the seats and backs’ angles, resulting in a harmonious look while also being ergonomic, with solid support for the spine. The sitting comfort is pleasant, further aided by the stability the sturdy wooden legs provide. The pair features upholstered seats which even further enhance the visual appeal and sitting experience. The textured fabric is not only elegant, it also accentuates the luxurious look of the wood. The natural, restrained colour scheme prevents the fabric from appearing too loud. These Haagse School armchairs are not just pieces of furniture but reflections of the era's shift towards modernist ideals, embracing understated sophistication without sacrificing comfort. These chairs would make a distinguished addition to any interior - from classic to contemporary spaces. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use.
