A sculptural oak armchair of Dutch origin, dating to the 1960s. The design is strikingly architectural, with a tall backrest pierced at the centre and finished with a detachable half-moon head cushion, suspended by cords. The broad seat is upholstered in a striped textile of warm, earthy tones, complementing the oak’s natural grain.
One arm extends into a wide, flat rest, conceived almost as a small side table, underscoring the chair’s practical yet idiosyncratic character. Turned front legs and a solid stretcher base provide grounding, while the overall form balances rustic craftsmanship with a distinctly modernist sensibility.
A bold and unusual piece, emblematic of mid-century Dutch design’s inventive spirit.
