Low Art Deco Armchair by Hendrik Fels for L.O.V. Oosterbeek, 1930s

A rare low armchair in the Dutch Art Deco / Modernist style. Designed by architect H.Fels for LOV Oosterbeek (shortening of 'Labor Omnia Vincit'), an idealistic furniture company active between 1910 and 1935. Their aim was to produce honest and modern furniture that was made in an artisanal way. Designers that worked for the L.O.V are for instance well known names like Frits Spanjaard, Cor Alons and Jan Muntendam. Small old restoration to the back. The drop-in seat is newly upholstered in a woollen fabric by De Ploeg.
