Modernist Stool by Wouda - 1924

Creator: Hendrik Wouda
Offered by: Goldwood by Boris

Description
Modernist yellow stool, Hendrik Wouda, H. Pander & Zonen, Netherlands 1924. Painted pine & silk. The Interbellum, the period between the two World Wars, was a time when culture Dutch blossomed. Architects, designers and artists set themselves the aim to shape a brighter, modern future by changing the way people live. The city of The Hague saw the rise of the so-called Hague School, a luxurious and modern design style. It is a variation of the international Art Deco style, recognisable for its straight lines and cubist shapes. This 7-piece bedroom set is an example of early The Hague School, recognisable by the symmetric composition, rather than the later (post 1926) asymmetric shapes. It is designed by Dutch designer Hendrik Wouda (1885 – 1946) and made by H. Pander & Zonen. This specific set was exhibited in 1924 at Pander’s Amsterdam store. It’s extremely rare to find a complete set in all original condition, with original paint and upholstery.
