Extreme Rare Dutch Brutalist Solid Oak Table- Side Chair '50
Located in Boven Leeuwen, NL
Authentic Mid-Century Dutch Brutalist Oak Chair Step into the bold world of Brutalist design with this exceptional and rare oak chair from the 1950s. Crafted in the heart of the Netherlands, this piece stands as a testament to the robust and raw architectural movement that celebrates materials in their most unadorned form. Constructed with the strength and durability emblematic of Brutalist design, the chair's solid oak structure showcases a commanding presence. Its weighty, substantial form is balanced by the understated beauty of the wood's natural grain, which has been allowed to develop a deep, expressive patina over the decades. Upholstered with a fabric that features an understated floral motif, the chair offers an inviting texture contrast to the oak's ruggedness. This upholstery provides a touch of softness to the otherwise imposing structure, ensuring that comfort isn't sacrificed for the sake of style. A standout feature of this Brutalist chair is the cleverly integrated wooden side table. Practical and unpretentious, it epitomizes the functionalist ethos of the movement, making it an ideal spot for your books or drinks. This chair is more than a seating option—it's a statement. Ideal for collectors, designers, and aficionados of the Brutalist aesthetic, it promises to be a focal point in any contemporary or vintage-inspired interior.

Vintage, New and Antique Side Chairs

Antique and vintage side chairs are space savers by design and wonderfully versatile pieces of seating for your dining room or wherever guests may gather.

Chairs have been indispensable pieces of furniture for a long time. We sit, therefore we deserve good seating. In Ancient Egypt, chairs were utilized in homes regardless of class, and most furniture was made of wood. Comfortable folding chairs, for example, were found in King Tutankhamun’s tomb.

Chairs evolved to be more commonplace in the 1830s, and by the Industrial Revolution, they could be found in most homes. The traditional wooden side chair might feature an upholstered back and seat and was typically used for gathering around a big dining room table. Because the side chair does not feature armrests, it could easily be tucked under the table when not in use or delicately placed in a corner for decorative purposes. Today, the side chair’s slim silhouette and armless design still offer the same level of versatility as it did in its early days. It’s supportive of a large gathering for a meal in the dining room or kitchen and serves as an accent piece (or extra seating) resting against the wall in a living room or inviting foyer.

When shopping for side chairs, think about the colors and furniture style you’ve already introduced to your living room or dining room. Keep the height of your sofa in mind, for example. If you intend to pair your sofa with your side chair when it’s not perched near the dining table, it wouldn’t hurt if the height of your side chair matches the height of your sofa. Even if your side chair will largely be used in the kitchen or dining room, it will likely be used in the living room or home entertainment area as well. When you’re thinking about the seating where meals are served in your home, benches, stools and armchairs make suitable alternatives too. And if you’re feeling adventurous, combining a variety of dining room seating options can be both aesthetically pleasing and downright practical.

Side chairs are available in a number of styles today, and this convenient seating is one of the types of chairs you should know when furnishing your new home. Explore antique and vintage side chairs on 1stDibs. Find Art Deco side chairs and mid-century modern side chairs, or search by creator to find side chairs crafted by legendary designers like Charles and Ray Eames and others.
