Beautiful rare early Dutch lounge chair, a design by Cor Alons executed by Den Boer in Gouda. This chair is made of plywood using the same techniques that Charles and Ray Eames use. The legs consist of several layers of wood that have been bent into a round, organic shape. Just like the "B" series by Cees Braakman for Pastoe, the wood used is birch. This set of four beautiful dining room chairs are in perfect condition, still sit wonderfully and have completely undamaged black upholstery. Height: 74 cm Width: 50 cm Depth: 63 cm Seat height: 41 cm This plywood chair owes its aesthetics mainly to its functionality and materials. Cor Alons chooses beech plywood because of the properties and possibilities of the material itself which is very sculptural. The decorative elements of this sofa follow from the feasibility of the plywood. For example, the wooden armrests have a straight, wing-like appearance. Also from the side, the wooden slats that hold the backrest gracefully experience a curved position. Whatever perspective you take on it, each angle provides a different visual excitement. Cor Alons (1892-1967) was a Dutch designer who studies at the Minerva Academy in Groningen and the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. After working for H. Pander & Zn, Alons opened his own office together with Frits Spanjaard. Alons' designs usually fit within the Functionalism theme and he often opts for furniture with a clear structure, which is also reflected in this design. See my other ads for more Cor Alons such as a sofa, chairs and table. All belong to the same set.
