Set of '2" Amsterdam School Armchairs in Oak, Coromandel & Rush, c. 1930's
About the Item
Presenting a rare and fascinating set of "His and Hers" armchairs that captures the essence of Amsterdam School design with a unique blend of rustic functionality, meticulous craftsmanship, and unexpected luxury.
At first glance, these chairs may appear somewhat simple and rustic; their Arts & Crafts-inspired silhouette embraces clean and robust lines, with frames crafted from thick planks of solid oak and seating woven from practical rush. Yet, upon further inspection, one begins to notice the nuanced design choices and touches of luxury which suggest the singular voice of a thoughtful designer and the hand of a skilled Dutch craftsman. One detail which sets these chairs apart is the sled-style runners which connect the legs, culminating in sculpted tapers just beyond the back legs; these stretchers add sleek movement which balances the reclined angle of the frame. Another important detail is the armrests, meticulously sculpted from opulent coromandel wood, which exude exotic luxury and speak to the discerning tastes of the era. Their lavishness is a harmonious juxtaposition against the rustic woven rush, adding depth and intrigue to the aesthetic allure of these chairs.
Embrace this rare opportunity to own a pair of chairs from the storied Amsterdam School. No matter how they are styled, these chairs will certainly be a focal point of the room!

- Pair of Pine Armchairs by Rainer Daumiller, Denmark, circa 1980By Rainer DaumillerLocated in Norwalk, CTRainer Daumiller's Pine Armchairs, crafted in Denmark circa 1980, are a harmonious blend of raw nature and refined design. Each chair feels as if it has been sculpted from the heart of a majestic pine, capturing the very essence and spirit of the forest. Upon first glance, the chairs exude a rustic simplicity, reminiscent of traditional Scandinavian aesthetics. Their sturdy form speaks of their humble origins in the dense woods of Denmark, while the pine itself has a soft, grainy texture that evokes a sense of warmth and comfort. Daumiller's artistry lies in his ability to marry organic forms with functional design. The chair's backrest gently curves, echoing the natural arch of the human spine, while the armrests extend like sturdy branches, welcoming the user into a comforting embrace. There's an earthiness to these chairs, and each one feels like a unique piece, shaped by nature and the craftsman's hand. The legs of the chairs are solid and grounded, reminiscent of tree trunks firmly rooted to the ground. Yet, despite their solid form, there's a certain lightness to them - as if they were whispering tales of gentle breezes and rustling leaves...Category
