Laurens Groen Art Deco Side Chair in Birch and Beige Corduroy Velvet 1920s

About the Item

Laurens Groen for H.H. de Klerk & Zoonen, chair, birch, corduroy velvet, The Netherlands, 1924 This chair by Dutch designer Laurens Groen has a striking, well-documented provenance. In the style of the so-called Amsterdam School a building including a temple hall was built for the vrijmetselaarsloge 'De Noordstar' (Masonic Lodge) in Alkmaar in 1924. Architect Laurens Groen planned the building as well as the interior. As can be seen in historic photographs the chairs flanked the long sides of the arched hall. Groen designed a rather unique side chair that plays with proportions, lines and textures. Triangles are a repeated form in this design that underlines its origin in the Art Deco period. The upholstered beige velvet seat has the shape of a trapezoid and visually connects with the upholstered part in the backrest, in triangular shape. The distinctive wooden frame rests on black feet that contrast with the blonde wood. Multiple Dutch museums like the Centraal Museum in Utrecht, The Netherlands, have this chair in their collection. Kindly note that the piece is in good, used condition with signs of use, common for pieces this age. The seat exhibits minor spots. For further details, we encourage you to reach out to our team of design specialists.
