About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This is a true design classic: the Congo armchair, designed by Theo Ruth for Artifort in the 1950s. What makes this chair so special is its clever design, consisting of two separate parts that slide into each other to form a comfortable and stable seating position. The armchair has a solid wooden base with a distinctive crossed shape. The seat and headrest are upholstered in black fabric, while the backrest features a striking yellow fabric with an 'atomic' pattern typical of the Mid-Century era. This contrast gives the chair a playful and authentic character. The chair is in good vintage condition, with an appearance that matches its age. The upholstery is neat and the construction is sturdy, ready for a new chapter. It is a beautiful example of Dutch post-war design. This Congo armchair is a perfect addition to an interior with a love for Mid-Century Modern or Dutch Design. It looks great as an accent chair in the living room, a reading nook, or even in a creative office space.
