Infirmerie daybed from the monastery of Holtum, France 1900s
About the Item
Original French infirmary daybed. It came from the monastery of Holtum in the Netherlands. The monastery was run by a French order of nuns who came to the Netherlands in 1901 after being exiled in France. This daybed was manufactured in France and came to the Netherlands with the nuns order. It actually shows great resemblance to the daybed designed by Jean Prouve and Jules Leleu for the Martel Janville sanitarium in the 1930s. It is plausible that Prouve was inspired by this older design.
The Holtum monastery was sadly demolished in 1976. Parts of the inventory were salvaged by the locals and this daybed was obtained from one of the locals who had it in his possession since 1976.
This daybed has an adjustable back. The seat and back are made from woven metal springs. It has wooden armrests and the cushions, filled with cotton, are original and in fair condition. The frame has a patina, paint loss and surface rust. Structurally still in usable and fair condition.
The height is adjustable from 73 to 125cm measured from the top of the headrest. The length varies from 167 to 210cm so even a tall person can lie completely flat. The seating height is 53cm.

De Stijl consisted of artists and architects. In a more narrow sense, the term De Stijl is used to refer to a body of work from 1917 to 1931 founded in the Netherlands. Proponents of De Stijl advocated pure abstraction and universality by a reduction to the essentials of form and colour; they simplified visual compositions to vertical and horizontal, using only black, white and primary colors. De Stijl is also the name of a journal that was published by the Dutch painter, designer, writer, and critic Theo van Doesburg that served to propagate the group's theories. Along with van Doesburg, the group's principal members were the painters Piet Mondrian, Vilmos Huszár, Bart van der Leck, and the architects Gerrit Rietveld, Robert van 't Hoff, and J. J. P. Oud. The artistic philosophy that formed a basis for the group's work is known as Neoplasticism—the new plastic art (or Nieuwe Beelding in Dutch). According to Theo van Doesburg in the introduction of the magazine De Stijl 1917 no.1, the "De Stijl"-movement was a reaction to the "Modern Baroque" of the Amsterdam School movement (Dutch expressionist...Category
