About the Item
Dutch modernist chairs, designed by Wim Den Boon in the 1950s, crafted from solid oak with original vinyl upholstery. They showcase Den Boon’s dedication to both quality and innovation, hallmarks of his influential role in Dutch design.These chairs, sourced directly from Den Boon’s personal residence, offer not only an embodiment of his craftsmanship but also a piece of design history. With only two available, they present a rare chance to own original works from a leading figure of early Dutch modernism. Priced individually.
Den Boon started his career as a draftsman for architects, and in 1929, he joined the De Stijl group. He worked closely with Gerrit Rietveld, contributing to iconic designs such as the famous Red and Blue chair. In 1948, Den Boon co-founded the architectural collective Groep 32 with other former members of De Stijl. His talents extended beyond architecture, as he also designed furniture, lighting, and objects for companies like Leerdam Glass.

Wim Den Boon
Wim Den Boon was a Dutch designer, interior designer and architect. Boon was a dogmatic man who believed strongly in the transforming capacities of architecture and design. Boon was affected by the architecture of Le Corbusier, De Stijl and Rietveld. Boon studied at the Academy for Visual Arts in The Hague in 1941. In 1945, he founded Groep & together with Hein Stolle and Pierre Kleykam, a group that manifested itself after the war with interiors and design, such as the furniture of the international departure hall of Schiphol in 1948. Den Boon was the editorial secretary of the magazine from 1948–50. Den Boon has written several articles for Goed Wonen, which was the most prominent magazine for interior design in the 1940s and 1950s. His articles are almost strictly educational. Boon's dogmatic character and the austere tone of his articles resulted in too much controversy, which forced him to resign from the magazine in 1950.
