Bas Van Pelt Leather and Chrome Tubular Lounge Chair
About the Item
1930's Bas Van Pelt Leather and Chrome Tubular Lounge Chair with Wood armrests and New Natural Leather Seating with laced leather closure in back.
Van Pelt was a forward-thinking designer in his day and only designed in a style that was similar to that of the Bauhaus and the Amsterdam School. During World War II one of Van Pelt's workers was killed when a bomb destroyed the branch's storage in The Hague in May 1940. He was so affected by this experience that he decided to join the resistance. In December 1944, Van Pelt was arrested by the Germans and was interned in the Sandbostel concentration camp . Shortly after the liberation, his hand was amputated due to blood poisoning. The weakened Van Pelt was unable to recover and sadly died on May 24, 1945. After his passing it quickly became clear that his body of work has not only stood the test of time but should be regarded as a high point in Dutch design history.
