Product description
The armchair is in original condition and museum-worthy. Upholstery: white faux leather with a small tear on the front and a tear in the finish on the underside. The armrests are made of wood.
This armchair is a design by the Dutch interior architect and industrial designer Cor Alons (1892-1967).
This specific model is known as the "conversation chair." Although it is often associated with the Bauhaus or Art Deco style of the 1930s, this specific design is attributed to the 1950s and was produced by the Oostwoud Factories in Franeker.
Features: It is a rare model with a chrome-plated tubular frame.
Seating experience: The design is intended for a "relaxed active sitting posture," making it ideal for conversation rather than purely slouching and lounging. Attribution: Some sources also link similar designs from the 1930s to Arie Verbeek (Model 57) or Paul Schuitema (Model PS 55 for D3), but the specific shape of this frame is directly linked to Alons for Oostwoud.
