An important lounge chair by Wim den Boon. This is an historical piece of furniture and an important part of the legacy of Wim den Boon as an important Dutch architect and interior designer.

Wim Den Boon was a Dutch designer, interior designer and architect. Den Boon was a strict thinking man who believed strongly in the transforming capacities of architecture and design who left behind a small body of work. Most of his furniture was made for specific projects. This particular chair is a fine example of Den Boon’s work and dates from the early 1960s . The second photo shows this chair in its original setting (photo: NAI Rotterdam).
It has new leather upholstery. The new leather is a copy after the original upholstery as can be seen in the last photo.

We have a collection of furniture in stock by Wim den Boon of which most pieces are bespoke pieces that were commissioned for private homes in the Netherlands (and come with provenance – see other listings)

Model ‘Amak’ lounge chair by Annie Hieronimus for Cinna 1983-86 (makers label to reverse).

A rare lounge chair designed by French designer Annie Hieronimus and executed by Cinna. This model of lounge chair very hard to find anywhere – it was only produced for three years between 1983 and 1986. Its remarkable look comes from the combination of soft folded leather that seems to bridge two large ballistic looking feet.
