Cubic Pinewood & Leather Armchair by Ate van Apeldoorn for Houtwerk Hattem, 70s. Set of 4

Set of 4 Dutch modernist armchairs by the well-known wood craftsman Ate van Apeldoorn, designed and crafted by hand during the 70s in his own workshop in Hattem, The Netherlands.

The designs of Ate van Apeldoorn have a certain robustness due to the the use of untreated pine wood and the abstract geometry of many of his designs.

The chairs have aged very well and are often considered as rustic and somewhat brutalist in their appeal.

All 4 chairs have the makers mark on the inside of the chair.

The square geometrical shape of the pine wood frame really stands out. The wood connection on the slats is visible on the outer edges, a typical feature of Van Apeldoorn designs. The seat and backrest are placed slightly tilted within the square frame providing for an interesting contrast in geometry. The chairs have been upholstered in patterned cognac leather upholstery. The construction is very solid.

The woodwork is in great vintage condition but the leather needs some attention, on one seat the leather is very dry and on two seats there are some paint marks.
