Description
This pair of ‘Lundi-sit’ chairs, designed by Gijs Boelaars for Lundia in the 1970s, are a testament to the innovative and minimalist design ethos of that era. These chairs exemplify the fusion of functionalism and aesthetic appeal that characterized Dutch design in the later half of the 20th century. Boelaars, a notable Dutch designer, created these chairs in collaboration with Lundia, a Dutch furniture company celebrated for its commitment to quality and design excellence.

Constructed from high-quality birch, the frames of these ‘Lundi-sit’ chairs feature a natural finish that highlights the material's inherent beauty and grain patterns. The seating and backrest are made from durable plywood, providing a sleek, modern appearance. This use of natural materials and attention to quality craftsmanship ensures that each chair is not only a functional piece of furniture, but also a work of art. A unique feature this design has are the adjustable seats, which can be adapted to personal seating height preference. Moreover, the design of the ‘Lundi-sit’ chairs embodies the minimalist aesthetic, characterised by clean lines and a straightforward form. The emphasis on simplicity and functionality makes these chairs versatile pieces suitable for a variety of interior settings. Whether used in dining rooms, living areas, offices, or as accent pieces in galleries and showrooms, these chairs are both practical and stylish. Historically, the ‘Lundi-sit’ chairs reflect the 1970s Dutch design movement, which prioritized simplicity, functionality, and the innovative use of materials. Gijs Boelaars' work with Lundia during this period is considered to have contributed to the global appreciation of Dutch design, emphasizing the importance of combining aesthetic appeal with practical utility.

This pair of chairs are not just pieces of furniture, but emblematic artifacts of a significant design movement in 1970s Netherlands. They offer a blend of historical significance, exceptional craftsmanship, and timeless design, making them a valuable addition to any collection or interior space.
