Special dutch lounge armchair designed by john de haard and produced by the gebroeders jonkers noordwolde, 1960s. The unique armchair has a pine wooden frame with a canvas seat hanging in it. The “sling” armrests are made of the same brown canvas. The seat is held in place by metal pins in the woodwork and turning buttons on the underside. The “safari chair” was an important inspiration for the design of the lounge armchair. The armchair is included in the extensive chair collection of the tu delft. Condition: good vintage condition. The woodwork is neat with traces of use in accordance with age. The canvas is good and nicely brown in color. The canvas has had a brown durable color treatment which has removed the wear and tear and discoloration. The cushion is in a slightly lesser condition. A button is missing and there is damage to the canvas on the underside.
