Bas van Pelt Lounge Chair in Solid Wood and Rope The Netherlands, Early 1940s.
A beautiful and rare lounge chair by Bas van Pelt for 'My Home'. A great design in solid wood with a wonderful backrest in rope - a stunning combination with the dark green painted wood and the - original - black / dark brown leather cushion.
A subtle and simple design, but due to the use of color and interesting materials this chair becomes something rather special. Also, the patina it gained over time only adds to the charm - both the wood and leather show a wonderful and subtle patina.
Overall, this is a very handsome lounge chair with a very desirable color and material combination and patina.
