About the Item

Pioneering Dutch designer A. Bueno de Mesquita created this captivating "floating" rattan basket chair for Rohe company in Noordwolde, Frisia during the 1950s. The design exemplifies Mid-Century Dutch innovation with its distinctive cantilevered monopod metal base that creates the illusion of suspension, while the woven rattan seat provides both comfort and organic warmth. Crafted w/ meticulous attention to structural integrity, the chair features a gracefully curved rattan basket seat supported by a sculptural cantilever base. The metal framework demonstrates sophisticated engineering, allowing the seat to appear weightless while maintaining complete stability. The natural rattan weaving showcases traditional Dutch craftsmanship elevated through modernist sensibilities. Condition reflects age-appropriate wear consistent with use, including light surface wear on the rattan and visible chips and scratches on the metal base that add authentic character. The chair remains suitable for covered outdoor use under dry, protected areas. Other rattan and bamboo chairs from this collection are available and listed separately.
