About the Item
A pair of iconic Mid-Century "1401" lounge chairs designed by Wim Rietveld for the Dutch manufacturer Gispen. This set features a classic enameled sheet metal frame and black Bakelite armrests, complemented by newer upholstered red fabric. The minimalist, industrial aesthetic is a hallmark of Wim Rietveld's design philosophy, emphasizing functionality and structural clarity. The chairs are offered as a set of two, making them a complete seating solution.
Imported directly from the Netherlands, these chairs are in good original condition with visible wear on the frames consistent with their age and usage. The enameled sheet metal retains its original character, and the Bakelite armrests show light signs of use. The new upholstery ensures comfort while maintaining the chairs' vintage character.
More to the Story...
Wim Rietveld (1927-1985), the son of renowned De Stijl architect and designer Gerrit Rietveld, forged his own legacy in Dutch design with a focus on functional, modern furniture. He joined Gispen as a designer in 1953, where he played a pivotal role in the company's transition to post-war modernism. His designs, including the "1401" chair, were known for their innovative use of materials, particularly bent sheet steel and Bakelite, to create affordable and durable furniture for a new generation. The "1401" chair, with its clean lines and industrial feel, is an enduring example of his work and a significant piece of Dutch design history.
