André Cordemeyer desk chair for Gispen, green wool, Netherlands, 1960s

Elegant Dutch mid-century desk chair designed by André Cordemeyer for Gispen, distinguished by its sculptural profile, generous proportions, and understated construction. The chair features a fully upholstered seat and back in green wool fabric, with original black-painted metal arm supports and a five-star metal swivel base. The curved backrest and shaped seat provide visual lightness and comfortable support, while the cantilevered arm structure gives the chair a distinctive architectural character. Cordemeyer was a key designer for Gispen, known for functionalist Dutch furniture that balances ergonomics, industrial materials, and refined proportions. This example combines warm, tactile upholstery with the crisp geometry of the metal frame and base. A versatile vintage desk chair, suitable for a home office, executive workspace, library, or collector’s interior. The vibrant green upholstery adds a sophisticated touch of colour while retaining the timeless character of Dutch modernist design.
