Lounge Chairs by Jac. van den Bosch, Netherlands, 1920s

This pair of lounge chairs by Jac. van den Bosch for ’t Binnenhuis dates from the 1920s and reflects the expressive craftsmanship of the Amsterdamse School and Nieuwe Kunst movement in the Netherlands. The solid oak frames feature subtle hand-carved decorative elements and strong architectural lines, balancing sculptural presence with comfortable proportions. The chairs retain their original green mohair upholstery, which complements the warmth of the oak and enhances their period character. Both pieces are marked with the manufacturer’s metal tag from ’t Binnenhuis and are fitted with castors. The chairs are offered and priced as a set of two.

Jacobus (Jac.) van den Bosch was among the designers associated with the progressive Amsterdam retailer and design house ’t Binnenhuis, an institution that played an important role in shaping early twentieth-century Dutch interior design. Founded in Amsterdam in 1900, ’t Binnenhuis collaborated with leading architects and designers who embraced the expressive forms and artisanal ideals of the Amsterdamse School. These lounge chairs exemplify that tradition, combining handcrafted detailing with a restrained yet distinctive form characteristic of Dutch design from the interwar period.
