Single Armchair by Hendrik Wouda

Description
Here is a Hendrik Wouda armchair in oak from 1921.
Hendrik Wouda was one of the most well known architect/Designers from The Hague School in Holland. The armchair has the Pander & Son stamp underneath. The armchair is documented in several books and is in permanent collection at the Centraal Museum in Utrecht, Netherlands. During the interwar years (1919-1938) in the city of The Hague, a luxurious and modern design style was created. The Hague School is a variation of Art Deco and is recognizable by the straight and geometrical shapes in its decorative arts and in its architecture. The Hague School was a mix of the rationalism of Berlage, the traditional Arts and Crafts Movement (the interiors of Frank Lloyd Wright, who visited Holland in 1918) and Gerrit Rietveld (the avant-garde movement of De Stijl; the use of color and constructivism) All of these influences resulted in a modern commercial design movement centering around The Hague and its wealthy citizens. It featured symmetrical and asymmetrical lines, almost no ornamentation, a constructionist attitude and the use of colors such as blue, red, and black.
