x2 Artifort Stick chairs

Bruno Ninaber van Eyben (NL. 1950-now)

Artifort. 1970s. Plywood.

The model 020 ‘Stick’ chair was designed by Dutch industrial designer Bruno Ninaber van Eyben in 1977.

The design is made up of three constituent parts that fit together: two pieces of angled plywood and a length of stick with a round profile. The stick in the middle connects the plywood pieces and functions as the backbone and strength of the chair.

These rare chairs were manufactured in very limited numbers due to the production costs and difficulties. Only 150 of these chairs were produced. Apart from its low production numbers the other reason that so few exist is because they can easily get damaged – Due to the stool’s fragility we recommend that it should be purchased by a design lover that appreciates its sculptural qualities rather than its functionality!

The plywood has been refinished.

Price: 3.950 euro (per piece)

plywood cube sculpture

Minimalist object/artwork composed of a series of six plywood cubes with diagonal divisions inside reminiscent of Donald Judd’s plywood art works. Circa 1980s.
Beautifully crafted, the six cubes are connected by one or two discrete rubber hinges (with a metal bar holding them in place) that enable the cubes to be unfolded vertically or horizontally in one direction along a single plain.

There are a few possible configurations as shown which enable it to be used as a shelving unit (with limited shelving space), a long bench, or simply as a decorative art object…

Each cube 40 x 40 x 40cm

Price: 2,100 euro

1960s Dutch salon table

Designer/Maker unknown. Circa 1960s.

A beautifully proportioned and simply constructed limed oak wood low/salon table. It has a series of small plywood inserts visible on the shorter sides and visible box joints where the legs attach to the table top. The surface has been lime waxed.

Although it cannot be verified we believe that the table may be a design by Hein Stolle for ‘t Spectrum furniture.
