Product description
A rare and striking armchair by the renowned Dutch designer Bas van Pelt for My Home, crafted in the 1940s in a solid oak with a hand-woven rush seat. It’s bold, robust form and substantial frame exemplify early Dutch modernism with a touch of brutalist strenth: clean, architectural lines combined with a tactile natural seat. Far from fragile, this chair stands as a sculptural yet functional object of enduring presence.
Armchairs in oak with rush by Van Pelt/My Home are documented in period and dealer references from the 1930s–40s, like this one, often carrying the My Home mark. The sculptural arms and slightly canted stance reflect Van Pelt’s signature approach: functional rigor married with natural texture, now resonating with today’s interest in brutalist furniture and bold, robust interiors.
This piece would perfectly match as a stand-alone item in an interior in style of the designs from Charlotte Perriand, Pierre Jeanneret and Jean Prouve or any other eclectic environment. Pairs beautifully with minimalist, industrial, or modernist interiors. The warm oak and woven rush add both material depth and visual weight, making it a commanding centerpiece without losing elegance. The chair is in a very well preserved condition; strong, clean frame with minor age-consistent wear; rush seat firm and well-presented.
