Cor Alons (Netherlands 1892-1967)
A rare armchair or desk chair by the Dutch interior architect and designer Cor Alons.
The architects of the Dutch Art Deco movement we now refer to as the ‘Haagse School or style’ were distinguished from other country’s styles by the application of a sober and cubist language with the intention of achieving a fine balance of form and weight; In this they were especially influenced by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright.
This striking chair is a gem of ‘Haagse school/stijl’ or Hague School furniture is constructed from solid oak and with the typical straight high back coloured in a contrasting black. The seat is newly upholstered in a grey Velours d’ Utrecht, emphasising this chair’s sober and quiet luxury.

The design of the table is reminiscent of the earlier modernist designs by Gerrit Rietveld/ Vilmos Huszár and the De Stijl movement. (We have images available of its ingenious construction).
This unassuming, simple table was designed by Dutch furniture maker / architect Harry Vogelaars. It is signed and dated 1998.

Solid wenge wood with chrome plated two part base. 190 x 86.5 x 72.5cm high
A unique bespoke dining table designed by Dutch architect Wim den Boon. In 1956 Den Boon was the architect of a residential project in the Dutch city of Wageningen – This house that still exists today (although in slightly altered state) and could be regarded as one of his best designs. Den Boon designed the house and most of the furniture for it. This table was part of that bespoke dining room, and was purchased from the family that commissioned the house.
It has a handmade chromed metal base in two triangular sections, and a 4.5 cm thick solid wenge wood top with curved sides that gives this table both a strict modern presence and a considered elegance and warmth.
