Armchairs by Hildo Krop for Amsterdam School, Netherlands, 1920s

Creator: Hildo Krop
Offered by: Goldwood by Boris

Description
Set of armchairs designed by Dutch sculptor and designer Hildo Krop, an example of the expressive and dynamic forms of the Amsterdam School. Crafted in the late 1920s, these chairs feature rich mahogany wood combined with a deep green velvet upholstery, evoking both a sense of luxury and modernist restraint. The chairs' dramatic silhouette and carefully sculpted armrests reflect Krop’s mastery of blending organic and geometric forms, while the minimal embellishments nod to a reduction of excess, characteristic of his later works. We also offer a matching table in another listing. Priced as a set.

Hildebrand Lucien (Hildo) Krop (1884-1970) was a prolific figure in Dutch modernism, widely celebrated as the city sculptor of Amsterdam. His sculptural works can still be admired on many of the city’s interbellum buildings and bridges. As a furniture designer, Krop’s designs embody the Amsterdam School’s dramatic flair and its emphasis on expressive, architectural forms. His furniture designs are represented in esteemed museum collections, including the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Stedelijk Museum, and Gemeentemuseum in The Hague.
