"SZ38" armchair in brown velvet by Martin Visser and Dick van der Net for

Designed in the early 1960s by Martin Visser and Dick van der Net for Spectrum, the SZ38/SZ08 armchair exemplifies the functional sobriety and formal precision of post-war Dutch design. Produced between 1960 and 1968, it remains one of the most sought-after models in the Spectrum collection. The seat and backrest are covered in their original deep and warm brown velvet, in very good condition. The dense texture of the fabric subtly captures light and contrasts with the rigidity of the metal structure. The leather armrests, also from the same period, show a natural and uniform patina — in their original state — reflecting the passage of time without detracting from their elegance or integrity. The entire piece rests on a fine metal structure, characteristic of Visser's work, where visual lightness and constructive solidity meet with precision. The presented example is in excellent original condition. The velvet retains its shape and depth of colour, while the leather armrests display an authentic patina, sought after by collectors. Dimensions: height 71 cm, width 71 cm, depth 77 cm. A rare piece, ideal for a minimalist interior, an architect's office, or a collection space dedicated to European design from the 1960s.
