Designed in the 1950s by Janine Abraham and Dirk Jan Rol, a close-knit couple in both their private and professional lives, they perfectly represent their approach to design that would characterize their entire furniture production. The pieces they designed throughout their career always combined traditional craftsmanship with modernist influences; pioneers in the use of wicker and natural fibers in a modern design context, they created furniture that was lightweight yet durable and visually appealing. Their ability to combine natural materials with modern, functional forms has influenced generations of designers and continues to be a source of inspiration in the world of contemporary design. The pair of lounge chairs we offer will arrive ready to be placed and stand out in your interior. Both armchairs underwent meticulous restoration, not because they were heavily used, but because iconic design pieces like these deserve to be preserved and continue to shine 70 years after their creation. Mariana, our trusted restorer of natural fibers, thoroughly cleaned them, replaced some rattan bindings, and perfectly matched the color of the new ones to the old ones in a flawless restoration. The surface was then treated with a water-based protective product. They are an example of elegance, innovation for their time, and a testament to European craftsmanship, perfect for enhancing your home. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no

however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
