Annie Hieronimus (France c20th)
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.
Price: 5.500 euro
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)
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.
