The Netherlands, 1970s. Gijs Bakker, born in 1942 and trained in Amsterdam and Stockholm, is a designer and jewellery maker, and co-founder of Droog Design with Renny Ramakers. In 1974 he designed the Strip chair for Castelijn, a piece held in museum collections, including those of the MFAH in Houston and the National Gallery of Victoria.
The principle comes down to a few gestures: curved strips of wood draw the legs, seat and back in a single line. The joins between the strips set a rhythm of fine lines across the chair, and the ash veneer, left visible beneath the black finish, reveals a well-marked grain. They stack, which makes them as practical as they are graphic.
Very good condition: the black finish is even, with only fine signs of use on a few backs. The lot comprises four chairs, and a fifth is available to complete the set.
Each chair measures 78 cm high, 53 cm wide and 44 cm deep.
Other Strip chairs by Gijs Bakker, in black and in natural ash, are available, alongside our Dutch design pieces from the 60s and 70s.
