Pair of Haagse School Armchairs, Netherlands Early 20th century

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
This elegant pair of armchairs embody the distinctive design principles of the Haagse School (The Hague School) movement, which emerged in the Netherlands during the early 20th century. Renowned for its blend of modernist and traditional influences, this style emphasizes clean lines, functional form, and quality craftsmanship.

The Hague School style is closely related to the Amsterdam School and the Bauhaus movement, but has more-so been influenced by Art Deco, and drew a great deal of inspiration from Berlage's rationalism, the Arts and Crafts movement, and De Stijl. As this pair showcases, the Hague School generally made use of strict and clean lines. The construction of this pair is quite traditional and robust. Each armchair features a solid yet graceful frame, crafted from rich, dark wood, which highlights the natural grain of the material. The solid wood frames recall modernist influences, such as Cubism and De Stijl in its forms and lines. The horizontal lines crafting the frames leave open spaces, emphasising the openness of the design, yet the construction of the base is grounding.

These Haagse School armchairs are not just pieces of furniture but reflections of the era's shift towards modernist ideals, embracing understated sophistication without sacrificing comfort. These chairs, with their timeless appeal, would make a distinguished addition to any interior, from classic to contemporary spaces.
