PJ-SI-28-A

This chair is an iconic piece of design. It is raw in its simplicity. The A-shaped legs are typical for many Chandigarh items. The floating backseat is a detail, which brings the shape in a surprising balance. There is an intriguing contrast between the massif wood pieces and the thin caning.


Its patinated teak gives that chair a strong character, showing all that traces of age and its uniqueness. It is finally a historic piece from a UNESCO World Heritage site, done by the most important architect of the 20th century. The chair is restored, the cane redone and with a cushion to protect the caning. It’s for daily use. We offer bigger chairs sets too.

GR-RED AND BLUE CHAIR

GR-RED AND BLUE CHAIR

It was designed by architect Gerrit Rietveld in 1917 and manufactured under his supervision before 1951 by his craftsmen Gerald van de Groenekan, De Bilt from Netherlands. It represents one of the first designs done by the De Stijl art movement.

Chair was originally designed in 1917 but variant painted in primary colors (red, blue, yellow) was applied later around 1923. Rietveld aimed for simplicity in his design. He designed furniture expected to be mass produced, not just handcrafted. With Red and Blue Chair Rietveld manipulated with vertical and horizontal planes in the same way he did in architecture. He hoped that the simple rectangular design would allow mass production and free the craftsmen from hard manual labor. Some of the first chair productions were made for the “Rietveld Schröder House” in Utrecht, Netherlands, also designed by Rietveld in 1924. The house is one of the best known examples of De Stijl architecture. Later it was converted into museum and listed as UNESCO World Heritage.

The De Stijl art movement was founded in Netherlands as the reaction against the horrors of World War I. The visual language of the movement was consisted of geometric forms and primary colours, which were used to find harmony and balance against the chaotic world events of that time.

The chair has its original colour and has never been repainted. It it one of the few original once which are existing.

MB-TI-1A

MB-TI-1A

Wooden-slat chair called “TI-1a” is an authentic Bauhaus item designed by Marcel Breuer in 1922-1924 and crafted at the Bauhaus in Weimar. Breuer was a modernist architect, sculptor and furniture designer, best known for the design of the most iconic chairs of 20th century. He was one of the first students, pioneers and later the teacher of the Bauhaus movement as well as of the International Style.

Wooden- slat chair was made during Breuer’s firstyears at the Bauhaus school in Weimar. Its head of the school department, the architect Walter Gro-pius, immediately recognised Breuer’s talent and promoted him within a year to the head of the carpentry shop. At the Bauhaus, Breuer produced the furniture for Gropius’ Sommerfeld House in Berlin as well as his acclaimed series of “African”and “Slatted” chairs. Breuer did remarkable design with this wooden-slat chair where he used a cantilevered frame as the construction manner for the first time. The chair also represents an important series of collaborations between Breuer and the Bauhaus weaving workshops, led by German textile artist Gunta Stölzl.

While the first version of 1922 used still two different kinds of wood slats, square and rectangular once, this second version got more radical and used for everything the same dimension of slats, expressing a much stronger dynamic in the shape. The chair has rigid wooden structure which is softened by the woven fabric that allows for a gently sloping seat and back.

GR-ELLING SIDEBOARD

GR-ELLING SIDEBOARD

‘Elling’sideboard was designed 1919 and executed in ca. 1974, just two years after the introduction of Gerrit Rietveld’s famous Red-Blue chair. He debuted this extraordinary table in oak. It was displayed in 1920 at the Voor de Kunst in Utrecht and purchased there by the Dutch architect Piet Elling (1897-1962). This early example was tragically destroyed by fire. The model was re-introduced in 1958 and made in a very limited quantity by one of Rietveld’s most trusted cabinetmakers, Gerard van de Groenekan (1904-1994). Groenekan began working for Rietveld as a sixteen-year old and eventually took over the woodworking facility in 1928 when Rietveld decided to focus on a career in architecture.
