Pair of Birch "Lundi-sit" Chairs by Gijs Boelaars for Lundia, Netherlands 1970s

About the Item

This pair of ‘Lundi-sit’ chairs, designed by Gijs Boelaars for Lundia in the 1970s, are a testament to the innovative and minimalist design ethos of that era. These chairs exemplify the fusion of functionalism and aesthetic appeal that characterized Dutch design in the later half of the 20th century. Boelaars, a notable Dutch designer, created these chairs in collaboration with Lundia, a Dutch furniture company celebrated for its commitment to quality and design excellence. Constructed from high-quality birch, the frames of these ‘Lundi-sit’ chairs feature a natural finish that highlights the material's inherent beauty and grain patterns. The seating and backrest are made from durable plywood, providing a sleek, modern appearance. This use of natural materials and attention to quality craftsmanship ensures that each chair is not only a functional piece of furniture, but also a work of art. A unique feature this design has are the adjustable seats, which can be adapted to personal seating height preference. Moreover, the design of the ‘Lundi-sit’ chairs embodies the minimalist aesthetic, characterised by clean lines and a straightforward form. The emphasis on simplicity and functionality makes these chairs versatile pieces suitable for a variety of interior settings. Whether used in dining rooms, living areas, offices, or as accent pieces in galleries and showrooms, these chairs are both practical and stylish. Historically, the ‘Lundi-sit’ chairs reflect the 1970s Dutch design movement, which prioritized simplicity, functionality, and the innovative use of materials. Gijs Boelaars' work with Lundia during this period is considered to have contributed to the global appreciation of Dutch design, emphasizing the importance of combining aesthetic appeal with practical utility. This pair of chairs are not just pieces of furniture, but emblematic artifacts of a significant design movement in 1970s Netherlands. They offer a blend of historical significance, exceptional craftsmanship, and timeless design, making them a valuable addition to any collection or interior space.

Dutch Arts & Crafts Chairs by W. Kuyper, The Netherlands 1920s

Located in Utrecht, NL

Inspired by the British Arts and Crafts movement, Dutch designers adopted a commitment to handcraft and the idea that artistic talent should benefit society. Following the international Art Nouveau movement, they practised integration of all the arts and drew motifs from nature, rather than eclectic historical precedents. This rare pair is a beautiful representation of the movement’s heritage in the Netherlands. The Dutch Arts & Crafts movement borrowed from the indigenous patterns and techniques of the Dutch East Indies colony, as well as the sober Old Dutch furniture...

Chair by Dom Hans van der Laan, Netherlands, 1960s

By Dom Hans van der Laan

Located in Utrecht, NL

This chair was originally designed by the Dutch Benedictine monk and architect, Dom Hans van der Laan for the Abbey Church of St. Benedictusberg located near the Dutch town of Vaals. This easy chair is in an untouched condition. It was made of pinewood and feature copper nails, giving this piece an understated, rustic look.

Two Chairs by Dom Hans van der Laan, The Netherlands 1960s

By Dom Hans van der Laan

Located in Utrecht, NL

This set of chairs was originally designed by the Dutch Benedictine monk and architect, Dom Hans van der Laan for the Abbey Church of St. Benedictusberg located near the Dutch town of Vaals. These easy chairs are in an untouched condition. They are made of pine wood and feature copper nails, giving these pieces an understated, rustic look. The pair is entirely painted grey, including the nails. This specific colour was carefully selected by Whim van Hoof to resemble the original shade as closely as possible. The main focus of van der Laan’s design was functionality and rationality, which is reflected in the openings on the sides and on the backs serve the purpose of joining multiple pieces together, and lifting them. Van der Laan was a leading figure in the traditionalist movement, the Bossche School, that held these values as well. These characteristics make these chairs charming, while also being beautiful pieces of Dutch design history. Although Dom Hans van der Laan left a small body of work behind, his legacy is highly regarded in the world of architecture. The St. Benedictusberg Abbey in Vaals and its interior quickly became his masterpiece at the age of 53. This model is still found in the Dutch church named Sint Willibrorduskerk in Almelo, for which it was possibly designed for in 1964. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Some small marks and scratches.
