About the Item

Magnificent and ultra rare pair of Art Deco Modernist Bauhaus lounge chairs. Design by Frits Kuyken for Kuyken Dilbeek. Striking Dutch/Belgium design from 1936. Original re-chromed tubular steel cantilever frames with re-upholstered premium black leather seats and back rests. In 1936 the head office of Opel/General Motors Continental S.A. Albertdock in Antwerp decorated their reception hall with similar lounge chairs like these ones. Unfortunately,however, the new GM interior did not last long, the GM factory closed in 1940 and in 1944 German v V-bombs destroyed the entire factory! This wonderful pair of Art Deco Modernist Bauhaus lounge chairs by Frits Kuyken for Kuyken Dilbeek is in very good original condition and has a beautiful patina. Highly collectable and very hard to find! Frits Kuyken was the brother of the well known Amsterdamse school artist Marie Kuyken who was famous for her typical Amsterdamse School cloisonné art work. A real eye-catcher in your home or office. We will ship these lovely pieces of furniture in a custom made wooden crate for safe transport when purchased by overseas buyers!
