Special set with authentic Belgian provenance. For sale: a rare and particularly characterful set of six original Gispen 2210 chairs, designed by the Dutch designer André Cordemeyer for Gispen. The Gispen 2210 was originally designed in 1960 and became a recognizable example of Dutch post-war design. These six pieces date from 1979 and feature the characteristic shaped cream/beige shell, brown upholstery, and elegant metal base. But what truly makes this set special is its origin. From the former C&A boardroom in Kortrijk. These six chairs come from the boardroom of the former C&A building on Doorniksestraat in Kortrijk (Belgium). They were part of the interior of this characteristic C&A property until the store's closure in 2019. Thus, they are not only vintage design furniture but also carry a beautiful piece of local business history. A set of six identical pieces with such a concrete provenance is not something you encounter every day. Authentic vintage condition. The chairs have been preserved in their authentic vintage condition and show the signs of use and patina that you would expect from original pieces of this age. The cream/beige shells are intact, and the metal base is complete. The brown upholstery gives the chairs a warm, timeless look and complements the shell's design beautifully. We have deliberately not modernized or replaced anything: it is precisely the original appearance, materials, and signs of use that give this set its character. Specifications. Brand: Gispen. Model: 2210. Designer: André Cordemeyer. Design: 1960. Production of these pieces: 1979. Quantity: 6 pieces. Version: shaped cream/beige shell with brown upholstery. Base: metal frame. Provenance: former C&A boardroom, Doorniksestraat, Kortrijk. Style: Dutch Design / Mid-Century Modern / Vintage Design. A set for the true enthusiast. These chairs are particularly suitable for those looking for an authentic vintage meeting or dining room set, but equally for an office, boardroom, hospitality establishment, or interior project where original Dutch Design pieces can take a prominent place. The set is preferably sold as a whole of six chairs. A nice detail is that the six chairs have remained together, thus forming a uniform ensemble. This makes them more interesting than six individual pieces that have ended up with different owners over the years. An original piece of Gispen design with a unique Kortrijk story.
