Henk Lampe (Nl 1951-Now)
1979. Henk Lampe / lacquered plywood.
Four chairs (with accompanying table) from the ‘plakhoutserie’ (glued wood series).
Prime examples of an important series of designs by the Dutch artist Henk Lampe from 1979 – Only a hand full of these museum pieces exist. They capture and predict the spirit of the Post-modern/post-structural age of the time and that which proceeded it.
This series of furniture combines the formality of modernism with a more playful formal language and striking playful use of colour. The series was never taken into mass production, so all pieces are build by the designer himself, making them museum quality pieces.
The Dutch title ‘plakhoutserie’ means a series of furniture built from glued slabs of geometric shaped plywood. The series extended to a variety of functional furniture from small stools to larger tables, each constructed of standardised component parts.
We have 4 chairs and the original table available but to accommodate collectors they can be sold in separate parts if required.
Very good original condition. Light honest traces of use. Original paint. Labels to the underside of some parts.
Price: 10.000 euro (set of four chairs & table)

Hague School armchair. Circa 1920s (attrib. to Frits Spanjaard)

It is constructed of solid oak wood with a drop-in sprung seat with beige corduroy fabric.

Hendrik (Henk) Wouda (Nl 1885-1946)
Pair of bedside cupboards / pot cupboards.
Oak wood with dark coromandel handles, ceramic interiors and slate tops.
Pander & Zn., 1920s (company labels inside doors). 45 x 32 x 55cm high.
A rare pair of bedside cabinets (or nightstands) by the Dutch architect and furniture designer Henk Wouda (1885-1946).
The cabinets are designed in typical Haagse School style; a fine balance of applied form and weight – In this the Dutch designers were especially influenced by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright.
The cabinets currently contain their original period fittings, namely ceramic pot holders. However, should the buyer wish it would be easy for us to have them removed prior to sending in order to make them suitable for more contemporary storage purposes.
Price: 2,350 euro
Sofa table/ coffee table. 120 x 80 x 55.3cm high. Lacquered and stained oak and plywood.
A very modestly designed constructivist table whose size measures somewhere between a dining table and a coffee table. It is particularly useful as a table at the back of a sofa as shown. 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.
Note: Cassina ‘Fiandra’ leather four part sofa by Vico Magistretti also available.
Price: 900 euro
(Attrib.) (Cornelius Louis) Cor Alons (Nl 1892-1967)
Oak wood. Restored/ with later upholstered drop in seats. Circa 1920s.
A pair of high quality Dutch Art Deco, Haagse School /stijl armchairs. These chairs could work well as two side chairs but would work equally well as desk chairs.
The design is attributed to the Dutch interior architect and designer Cor Alons. Alons was one of the architects of the Dutch Art Deco movement we now refer to as the ‘Haagse School, or style’. These designers 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.
These striking chairs are constructed from solid oak and with the typical straight high back coloured in a contrasting black.
Price: 3.750 euro (x2) or 1.900 (per piece)
