Made entirely from solid pine, the chairs reflect the era’s appreciation for natural materials, simple construction, and form-driven design. Their bold, cubic shapes and straightforward joinery reflect the influence of brutalist design, while their warm finish and tactile surfaces recall Scandinavian craftsmanship. These chairs likely stem from a local Dutch workshop or a small-batch design studio, typical of post-war European furniture where individuality and experimentation often led to unique, now collectible, pieces. The design is grounded yet open, with a slightly reclined back and broad armrests that invite laid-back lounging. The plank construction and visible screws lend them a raw, industrial charm without compromising comfort or utility. The natural pine wood has aged gracefully, developing a soft golden patina that enhances the grain and brings out the organic imperfections—knots, lines, and subtle tonal shifts—that make each piece unique. Whether placed in a modernist cabin, a Japandi-inspired interior, or used as accent chairs in a contemporary space, they lend sculptural weight and warmth. Dimensions: Width: 65 cm Depth: 55 cm Height: 63 cm Seat height: 35 cm These armchairs remain in excellent vintage condition, structurally sound, with minor signs of age and use that contribute to their authenticity—a standout set for collectors and design enthusiasts who appreciate the quiet beauty of 1970s Dutch craftsmanship.
