Muntendam for furniture factory Gebr. Jonkers from Noordwolde. The chair is characterized by an elegant and functional design that is typical of that period.

The design of the chair is sleek and minimalist, with a frame made of black lacquered wood that gives a solid and modern look. The armrests and seat are made of gray leather, which not only offers a special look, but also comfort and durability. The backrest consists of a wickerwork of natural materials, which forms a nice contrast with the sleek wooden frame and the leather upholstery. This wickerwork gives the chair an airy and light appearance, while at the same time being a nod to traditional craft techniques.

J.P. Muntendam was an influential designer in the Dutch furniture industry, known for his innovative and timeless designs. The furniture factory Gebr. Jonkers from Noordwolde played an important role in the furniture industry of that time, especially known for their craftsmanship in weaving wicker and rattan. Noordwolde became a center for the production of high-quality wickerwork furniture and had many manufacturers. This chair fits perfectly into contemporary interior styles such as vintage, eclectic, Scandinavian, boho and Japandi. In a vintage interior, the chair adds an authentic mid-century element. In an eclectic interior, the chair can serve as a striking and unique piece that brings together different styles.

The sleek lines and natural materials also make the chair suitable for a Scandinavian interior, where simplicity and functionality are central. In a boho interior, the chair adds a playful and traditional element, while in a Japandi interior the combination of minimalism and natural materials comes into its own. This chair is not only a beautiful example of mid-century design, but also a versatile piece of furniture that can be integrated into various modern interior styles. In a very nice, somewhat older but well-executed, restored condition. Can be used immediately and ready for years of living pleasure
