Den Boon's dogmatic character and the austere tone of his articles resulted in too much controversy which led to Wim Den Boon being forced to resign from the magazine in 1950.
These chairs retain their original leatherette upholstery which was common to Den Boon's furniture. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
