Their geometric, structured silhouette—defined by straight lines, thick uprights, and a strong sense of volume—embodies the expressive, constructivist aesthetic associated with the movement.

The tall, slightly inclined backs and rectilinear armrests create a sculptural presence while offering comfortable seating. Both seats and backs are upholstered in an older grey-green fabric whose matte texture pairs beautifully with the warm patina of the oak.

The frames rest on robust sled-style bases, while the closed lower panels—typical of Amsterdam School furniture—further emphasize the architectural quality of the pieces.

The Amsterdam School was a major Dutch artistic and architectural movement that emerged in the 1910s and remained active into the early 1930s. Initially focused on architecture, it soon expanded into furniture, interior design, and the decorative arts. Its hallmark is a highly expressive approach in which volume, structure, and sculptural rhythm play a central role.
