About the Item

Listed is a rare set of Modernist dining chairs, attributed to J.A. Muntendam — who was the artistic director of L.O.V. Oosterbeek in the late 1920s. L.O.V. is the abbreviation of Labor Onia Vincit which means 'Work conquers all’. In the days Dutch company L.O.V., based in Oosterbeek, was quite a famous factory. Historically they played a significant role with their progressive principles: L.O.V. was for example the first factory to introduce the modern 8-hours working day. L.O.V. designs toggle from being quite traditional to extremely modernist — in every piece of their furniture you feel that the spirit of Modernism was hanging in the air. De Stijl, Gerrit Rietveld, Mondrian — to name but a few — were all blooming. At L.O.V., artistic directors such as Fritz Spanjaard and JA Muntendam were trying to capture the moving Zeitgeist in every design, creating important transitional pieces. The listed set of 4 dining chairs can be mistaken for Art Deco or Hague School pieces, but if you look closely it just breathes modernism: its hugely elegant and clean lines are the result of a series of trials finding the right shape. The chairs are in lovely condition with wear consistent with age and use, and all retain their L.O.V. maker’s mark. In an earlier stage of their life, chairs have been reupholstered with a chic, black Manchester ribcord, in very good condition.

Set of 4 Galvanitas Oosterhout NV S16 Compass Chairs, Dutch Design, 1950s
By Galvanitas
Located in CULEMBORG, GE
For sale is a lovely set of four Galvanitas S16 Compass Chairs, arguably the most iconic school chair ever produced. The first to design with sheet metal was obviously Jean Prouve, but in The Netherlands the experiments with these classic compass leg subframes really exploded in the 1950s. Friso Kramer and Wim Rietveld designed the similar looking Result Chair for Ahrend in the same period, but the S16 turned out to be the most successful —featuring in most schools and canteens of office- and government buildings. Made from a sheet steel frame with a fine laminated and formed seat and back by Pagholz, the iconic S16 Chair...
