This elegant Kembo armchair is a beautiful example of Dutch mid-century design: compact, playful, and yet exceptionally comfortable. The model stands out with its organically shaped backrest, subtle armrests, and slender metal legs—a combination that gives the design a light and modern feel, while the generous seat invites relaxation.
The chair has been professionally reupholstered in a warm, rich fabric that perfectly complements the soft curves of the design. The slender metal frame has also been repainted, giving the armchair a fresh, polished look without losing its authentic character.
The design closely reflects the typical style of Kembo, a Dutch furniture manufacturer known primarily from the 1950s to the 1970s for its progressive, functional, and affordable design. Kembo collaborated with leading designers and played a significant role in making modern living accessible in the Netherlands.
Many chairs in this line are attributed to Kembo designers, such as A.R. Cordemeyer, who was known for his clear forms, ergonomic approach, and timeless aesthetic. His designs often combine comfort with architectural simplicity—a characteristic clearly evident in this model.
Thanks to its refined design, innovative finish, and historical background, this armchair is not only a comfortable seat but also a stylish collector's item that fits effortlessly into both modern and vintage interiors.
