About the Item

Rare Pair of Ben van Reijnsdorp Bauhaus Tubular Chrome Armchairs for Auping, 1931 A stunning, exceptionally rare pair of vintage modernist lounge chairs, designed by the celebrated interior architect Ben van Reijnsdorp around 1931 for the esteemed Dutch manufacturer Auping. Produced only in small series, these chairs are infrequently available on the market, making them a significant find for discerning collectors. Design Provenance These armchairs are a superb example of the Bauhaus influence on Dutch design, showcasing the movement's core principles of form follows function and the use of modern industrial materials. Tubular Steel Construction: The design utilizes bent tubular chrome-plated steel, a revolutionary material at the time, offering both durability and a visually light, almost weightless aesthetic. Dutch Modernism: The Netherlands played a crucial role in the development of modern design during this era, with companies like Auping actively collaborating with talented local designers to create forward-thinking, functional furniture. Auping's commitment to good design heritage is well-documented, commissioning innovative pieces that have become collectible classics. Auping Quality: Known primarily for their high-quality mesh bases and beds, Auping’s foray into tubular furniture under Van Reijnsdorp's direction produced pieces of exceptional quality and minimalist elegance. The striking yellow upholstery provides a vibrant contrast to the sleek, metallic frame, highlighting the timeless appeal of this iconic early modernist design. This is a museum-quality set that carries decades of design influence.
