Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
Found this photo on the web. It’s of a cool tubular chair by J.J.P. Oud (Jacobus Johannes Pieter Oud 1890-1963), a Dutch architect, member of the Stijl Group and contemporary of Gerrit Rietveld. Oud was also involved in the design of the Weissenhof Siedlung in Germany which got Bauhaus a lot of Fame.
Via New Zealand Museum Te Papa
Update January 2023. And you know what? The name of this chair is The Knit Chair or The Knitting Chair….
Recently the Rotterdam Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum bought this Tube Chair by Dutch architect and member of De Stijl Group: J.J.P. Oud.
Via the Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant [article gone and found again Volkskrant: Boijmans buys Chair 04…].
