Set of 4 brutalist oak ladderback dining chairs – Netherlands, 1970s

A robust set of four brutalist dining chairs in solid oak, made in the Netherlands in the 1970s. The striking ladderback, the heavy construction and the honest, natural wood make these chairs a focal point at any dining table. The chairs sit in the tradition of designers such as Pierre Chapo, Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand and Axel Einar Hjorth: robust forms, visible construction and materials that improve with time. Heavy, sturdy and honest: chairs whose signs of use only add to their character. At their best in a brutalist, minimalist, wabi-sabi or rustic interior, but equally striking alongside a sleek modern table. Dimensions (per chair): 94 cm high, 45 cm wide, 57 cm deep, seat height 48 cm. Material: solid oak. Style: brutalist. Period: 1970s. Origin: Netherlands. Quantity: set of 4 chairs. Condition: good, normal signs of use consistent with age.
