OASE fauteuil van Wim Rietveld voor Ahrend de Cirkel, 1958

A distinctive and iconic piece of Dutch design history, where functionality and elegant industrial styling come together beautifully. This comfortable chair features a slender metal frame, a sheet-steel backrest, and Bakelite armrests. Developed in the late 1950s through the collaboration between Wim Rietveld and Ahrend De Cirkel, this sleek, minimalist design has become a recognizable Dutch design classic. The previous owner reupholstered these chairs in a stunning turquoise wool fabric by De Ploeg. The fresh color lends a soft, contemporary touch to the robust metal design.
