About the Item

A striking example of Dutch modernist design, this low-profile armchair from the 1950s reflects the architectural precision and geometric rigor characteristic similar to Gerrit Rietveld’s work. The expertly crafted wooden frame features bold, angular lines, emphasizing both structure and form, while the black upholstered seat and backrest provide a refined contrast, enhancing its sculptural presence. With its strong visual identity and minimalist aesthetic, this chair embodies the avant-garde spirit of mid-century Constructivist European design.
