Product description
L. van der Vlught (Gispen) – Tubular Steel Lounge / Armchair, Model VI-A-138, 1931 (Netherlands) A rare Dutch Modernist armchair designed by L. van der Vlught (1931) and produced by Gispen (outside assortment), documented as model VI-A-138 (NL) in the reference page shown. This piece captures the pure “Nieuwe Bouwen” / Bauhaus-era language: a clean, architectural chromed tubular-steel structure with a generous, floating seat and elegantly drawn arm loops. The chair features upholstered seat and back in a deep brick-red textile, paired with black armrests (Bakelite / lacquered finish), and a distinctive spring-suspension back construction—a hallmark of early Dutch functionalist seating. A strong statement chair that reads equally well in a minimalist interior, a collector’s modernist setting, or alongside other iconic tubular steel designs from the early 1930s. Details • Designer: L. van der Vlught • Manufacturer: Gispen (outside assortment) • Model / Reference: VI-A-138 (NL) • Year: 1931 • Materials: chromed tubular steel, upholstered textile, black armrests • Origin: The Netherlands Condition Good vintage condition overall. The chrome frame shows visible patina / oxidation and spotting consistent with age and use (see close-ups). Upholstery presents well with minor signs of wear commensurate with a vintage piece. Structurally solid. Literature Referenced on the shown page: Widerhall, 1993, no. 14, pp. 41–43 (as listed under VI-A-138). Dimensions W 58cm D 75 H 80 Sh 46 ArmH 57cm
