Item Description

Elegant Dutch mid-century desk chair designed by André Cordemeyer for Gispen, distinguished by its sculptural profile, generous proportions, and beautifully understated construction. The chair features a fully upholstered seat and back in an appealing green wool fabric, complemented by the original black-painted metal arm supports and a substantial five-star metal swivel base. The softly curved backrest and shaped seat provide both visual lightness and comfortable support, while the cantilevered arm structure gives the chair a distinctive architectural character. Cordemeyer was one of the key designers associated with Gispen, contributing to the company’s tradition of functionalist Dutch furniture with designs that balance ergonomics, industrial materials, and refined proportions. This example captures that aesthetic particularly well, combining a warm, tactile upholstery with the crisp geometry of the metal frame and base. A highly versatile vintage desk chair, equally suited to a home office, executive workspace, library, or collector’s interior. Its vibrant green upholstery adds a sophisticated touch of color while retaining the timeless character of Dutch modernist design.
