Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
And of this nice set of 4 Cantilever Tubular Chairs nobody at Venduehuis The Hague seems to know the designer or pedigree. Therefore one seems to be able to pick them up for a nickle or a dime as the estimate is Euro 200 – 300…
Update: Sold for Euro 260. I would have loved to have these chairs and reupholster them with real leather….
Two of a limited series of 4, hand made with reclaimed wood.
Each estimated Euro 1,900 – 2,100

Curated by Zetel
The idea to gather the left over wood from a workspace and glue the pieces together was the origin of Dinie Besems’ design for Zetel. The raw block of wood that this produces creates a new ‘tree’ out of which a chair can be sawn. While the design was being made, it became apparent that tension in the stacked different types of woods could be increased by first stacking the wood and then gluing it. This created very colourful, unique object thanks to the variety of woods used. The magic of the square and the rhythm of the measurements make this chair a fascinating sight, a pleasure to sit on and to look at.
