Artifort was founded in 1890, when Jules Wagemans started a business as an upholsterer in Maastricht. A great deal changed with the arrival of the interior and furniture designer Kho Liang Ie, and in 1959 he recruited the French designer Pierre Paulin, beginning a long and fruitful collaboration between Paulin and the Dutch manufacturer. Pierre Paulin’s model “577” lounge chair, also known as the “Tongue Chair” or “Langue” in French, represents a bold and fluid design language that emerged in the mid-20th century.
Designed in 1967, and produced by Artifort, the chair is a hallmark of Paulin’s sculptural approach to furniture. He believed that “a chair should be more than simply functional”. This "577" lounge chair model features a seamless, flowing form that echoes the curve of a human tongue. The lounge chair offers a fresh departure from traditional seating, embodying the futuristic and organic sensibilities of the 1960s. Constructed with a metal frame covered in foam and upholstered in a beautiful off-white textured fabric, the design prioritises both form and comfort. The low armless profile encourages a relaxed posture and makes it visually striking from all angles. Paulin’s innovative use of materials and emphasis on ergonomic design allowed this chair model to become a functional piece and a statement - ideal for modernist interiors that value design and experimentation.
Today, the “577”/ “Langue” chair stands as a timeless icon of modern design, revered for its originality and enduring appeal. Through this design, Pierre Paulin and Artifort captured a unique moment when comfort, form, and avant-garde aesthetics come together beautifully.

This upholstered armchair reflects the quiet confidence of Scandinavian design from the 1930s, a period when modern ideas were being absorbed into more traditional forms. Swedish furniture of this era often balanced restraint with comfort, favouring clear silhouettes and honest materials over ornament. Rather than chasing novelty, designers focused on proportion, usability, and longevity, creating pieces that felt modern yet familiar.
This chair sits comfortably within that moment, bridging early modernist thinking with the warmth expected in domestic interiors. The armchair is defined by its solid wooden frame, which gives structure and presence without overpowering the soft upholstery. The straight, architectural arms frame the seat and back in a way that feels deliberate and grounded, while the slightly reclined backrest invites relaxed sitting. Upholstered in a dusty pink fabric, the chair gains a subtle softness that tempers the firmness of the wood. The fabric adds depth and tactility, catching light gently and emphasizing the slightly rounded edges. The proportions are compact but generous, making the chair feel supportive without appearing heavy. Every element, from the thickness of the cushions to the clean transitions between wood and fabric, suggests careful craftsmanship and an understanding of everyday comfort.
As both a functional seating piece and a design object, this armchair works easily in a range of interiors. Its calm colour palette and balanced form make it timeless, appealing to those who value character, quality, and subtle design. This is a chair meant to be lived with, offering comfort first while quietly carrying the design language of its time into the present.

Art Deco furniture reflects a moment when design shifted toward confidence, comfort, and modern living. Emerging in the interwar period, the design movement embraced strong silhouettes, rich materials, and a sense of quiet luxury that felt both progressive and grounded. Club chairs became a key expression of this approach, designed not only to look substantial but to invite use. This chair fits squarely within that tradition, balancing architectural clarity with a deeply comfortable presence.
This club chair is defined by its generous, rounded silhouette, with thickly upholstered arms that curve forward and frame the seat in a protective, almost enveloping way. The deep seat and softly padded backrest create a sense of weight and comfort, while the proportions remain carefully controlled so the form never feels heavy. Upholstered in an earthy-toned brown fabric, the surface adds depth and softness to the overall appearance, reinforcing the chair’s tactile appeal. Subtle shaping at the arms and back gives the piece a sense of flow, while the low stance and solid proportions keep it visually anchored. The short, carved wooden feet give the chair a grounded presence, ensuring sturdiness. Together, these elements create a piece that feels both intimate and confident, designed as much for long, relaxed use as for aesthetic impact.
This club chair captures the essence of Art Deco comfort, where refinement and functionality coexist. Its timeless shape and inviting feel make it as relevant today as it was when first made. A strong example of early 20th century seating, it speaks to a period when furniture was designed to be lived with and be passed down through generations.

This upholstered armchair is rooted in the European Art Deco movement of the 1930s. It was a period defined by confidence, structure, and a belief in modern luxury. Art Deco design emerged between the wars as a response to earlier ornament-heavy styles, favouring clarity of form, strong geometry, and refined materials. Furniture from this era often balanced comfort with a distinctly architectural presence, drawing inspiration from both classical proportion and the clean lines of modern industry. This chair reflects that mindset perfectly, presenting a strong and confident silhouette that feels intentional rather than decorative.
The form of the armchair is solid and grounded, built within a strong wooden frame that gives the piece its architectural weight. The arms are outlined by smooth and sharply defined wood, creating a sense of enclosure that feels both protective and confident, while the backrest softens the geometry and adds comfort. Upholstered in a warm, powdered pink fabric, the chair gains a tactile softness that contrasts with the firmness of the frame. The upholstery is soft but controlled, with clean planes and subtle curves rather than excess padding. The seat is deep and inviting, designed for practical use, while the proportions remain compact enough to feel composed in a room. The wooden elements frame the upholstery and emphasize the chair’s structure, reinforcing its Art Deco character. Every detail works together, from the block-like legs to the precise transitions between wood and fabric, creating a chair that feels deliberate, balanced, and quietly strong.
As a piece, this armchair captures the lasting appeal of Art Deco furniture: comfort shaped by discipline and elegance rooted in form rather than ornament. It works equally well as a statement chair in a living room or as a refined accent in a bedroom or study. Its presence offers visual weight without heaviness and comfort without excess, in true Art Deco fashion.

The Art Deco movement - emerging in the 1920s and reaching its peak in the 1930s - celebrated elegance, luxury, and meticulous craftsmanship, while forever leaving its mark on design history. Known for its bold geometric patterns, streamlined forms, and high-quality materials, Art Deco design drew influence from industrial innovation and the glamour of the Jazz Age. Pieces from this period often exhibit clean lines, rounded edges, and richly textured fabrics that invite touch and appreciation. These characteristics perfectly fall in line with the design of the club chair, originally named the “fauteuil confortable" (comfortable armchair).
Club chairs, often recognised by their deep, rounded backs and wide armrests, originated in French men’s clubs in the early 20th century. They were created for cosiness and relaxation, typically featuring full-body upholstery and sturdy frames that allowed club members to enjoy sitting for extended periods of time. This Art Deco club chair reflects its rich history by embodying the the opulence and artistry of its design movement, while simultaneously pursuing comfort. The piece stands out through its dark blue mohair fabric, and distinct rounded shape. The chair’s sweeping backrest and generously curved armrests give it an invitingly sculptural presence, with its clean lines being striking from all angles. The plump silhouette is emphasised by its rich colour and texture, exuding an effortless sense of luxury. To complement the look, the plush mohair used for the upholstery adds a tactile richness and warmth that stays true to the Art Deco commitment to durability and high-quality materials. The short legs complete the piece with a wooden touch, balancing the dominating shape of the body.
Perfect for those who value style and quality, this armchair brings a bold, timeless charm to any room. The club chair’s blend of historical influence and modern appeal make it suitable for a variety of interiors, whether you’re aiming for vintage glamour or modern refinement. With its silhouette and rich, versatile colour, this piece combines style and comfort to infuse a space with Art Deco elegance.

This armchair, recalling the Bauhaus, is made of wood and woven rope, and brings to mind iconic designs of the early 20th century. Erich Dieckmann’s furniture models are often characterized by quality hardwoods, cane matting and geometric frames that link the armrests and legs, creating a unique runner construction. This model is visually reminiscent of Dieckmann’s work thanks to the curved armrests and quality materials.
The wooden structure of this chair was a technical innovation in its time as it was created by steam bending the wood. During the process, the wood is exposed to steam to make it pliable. The steam bending is most apparent in the armrests, where the curvature flows down to form the front legs, and in the stretchers where there is a wavy look - these elements allow the otherwise simple design to stand out and become a work of art in its own right. The frame is complemented by the elegant rope seat and backrest woven tightly around the wood, with the woven seating giving it a warm and cosy feel all while staying very functional. The chair’s simplicity and honest elegance makes it an exceptional piece of furniture. This chair is defined by it’s materials, steam bent wood and woven rope. Both techniques require expert skill, which the craftsman and the manufacturer evidently both possessed.
Unlike designs from outside the continent, European designers’ products weren’t flashy but instead focused on being well-made and to fit a warm, comfortable and welcoming home. As this chair exemplifies, blending functionality, good quality natural materials and organic colours with excellent craftsmanship is the key to the success of this design period.

Bas van Pelt was an iconic Dutch furniture designer known for his innovative pieces and style. He renamed “Firma Corn. van der Sluys” into the new “My Home” and opened new branches in different cities. His work was exclusive, a fact which explains the limited numbers of surviving models of his creations.
While Bas Van Pelt's creative work was primarily influenced by the straight lines dominated by The Hague School, this armchair is the result of his more mature design era, which was primarily dominated by natural materials and curvature. The main visual element of this piece is the backrest with eleven wooden spindles that creates an almost throne-like appearance. The spindles are set in the rich dark wood frame which creates the structure of this piece. The natural beauty of oak and its versatile grain is beautifully displayed throughout the chair, especially in the backrest. Not only this, but the upholstered seat transforms this piece into more than an average wooden chair, increasing both its aesthetic qualities and its comfort. The legs and stretchers combine straight and bent lines, creating a sculptural look that is interesting from all angles.
This armchair shows why Bas van Pelt is widely regarded as a Dutch design icon. From the handcrafted wooden frame to the numerous spindles and tapered legs, the chair showcases both the quality materials utilized and expert craftsmanship.

About the Designer:
Bas Van Pelt (1900 Dordrecht (NL) - 1945 Sandbostel (DE) was a well-known Dutch interior and furniture designer, known for the clarity and quality of his designs. His works created in the 1930s and 1940s are regarded for their progressive design and quality.
While he is most well-known for his chair designs, van Pelt was also active as an interior designer. He also designed fabrics for window coverings, rugs and carpets, seating and tables, as well as lighting crafted by the best craftsmen in the Netherlands. He worked with multiple manufacturers, including his own firm, Bas van Pelt / My Home and Verto Verenigde Touwfabrikien, where his tubular metal designs were produced. In the window of the shop, in the lively centre of The Hague, there was one large window placed so that everyone could look inside and see how things were made, and could be done differently; in his view, modern furniture at the time was light and airy, transparent, made of tubular steel frame, combined with wood. This view was very progressive for the 1930s, when the influence of The Hague School was still dominating most designers.
Unfortunately, in 1940 WWII changed the life of Bas van Pelt as well, who was on the board of the Haagse Kunstkring, where discussions about reconstruction after the war took place. Sadly, Bas van Pelt did not live to see it. He was deported because he gave people in hiding a safe place, saving many lives. While there is very limited information about his life and work, his furniture designs have become collectibles in the past decades that are also found in Dutch museums. Bas van Pelt is remembered as a progressive designer and as a man who saved lives.

This rare armchair, recalling the Bauhaus, is made of bent wood and woven rope. Erich Dieckmann was one of the preeminent furniture designers of the Bauhaus, and his furniture models are often characterized by quality hardwoods, cane matting and geometric frames that link the armrests and legs, creating a unique runner construction.
This model is therefore clearly inspired by a typical Dieckmann model, with a curved stained wood frame that perfectly shows the avant-garde yet minimalist style and workmanship. The wooden structure was a technical innovation in its time as it was created by steam bending the wood. During the process, the wood is exposed to steam to make it pliable. Heat and moisture from steam can soften wood fibres enough, so they can be bent and stretched, and when cooled down they will hold their new shape. This is most apparent in the armrests‘ curvature that flows down to form the front legs - this continuous piece being one of the main focal points of the design. The frame is complemented by the elegant rope seat and backrest woven tightly around the wood, the woven seating giving it a warm and cosy feel all while staying very functional. The chair’s simplicity and honest elegance makes it an exceptional piece of furniture.
While the Bauhaus movement itself lasted only 14 years, Bauhaus architecture and design has had an enduring impact on generations of designers. Before and during its rise, design trends were highly decorative and ornate, including Victorian style, Colonial style, and Art Deco. Bauhaus revolutionized the design field of the day by aiming for simple, functional buildings and furniture, as this chair demonstrates. These influences carried on through modernist architecture and are still seen throughout different movements, especially in Scandinavian minimalism and mid-century modern design.

In the decades after World War II, furniture across Europe pursued a careful balance between simplicity and craftsmanship. In the Netherlands as well as in Scandinavia, there was a rejection of heavy ornament and instead the focus fell on materials like solid wood and textiles while keeping the overall form simple and purposeful. Chairs from this period often reflect a belief that good design should be both visually pleasant and functionally comfortable.
This modernist armchair, in the manner of Jan den Drijver, illustrates these principles through a straightforward yet thoughtful construction. The frame is built from solid wood, finished to reveal a warm, natural grain that highlights its organic beauty. The backrest rises with a gentle backward slope, providing ergonomic support without excess bulk, and the wide, flat armrests extend forward in a smooth and sleek line that aligns with the sitter’s posture. The seat and backrest surround the upholstery, a textured fabric that contrasts softly with the wood while maintaining a neutral palette. The cushions are padded to increase comfort. The legs are sturdy and substantial, ensuring support while not taking away from the rest of the design. This unadorned construction allows the quality of the piece to remain the focus - the clear form, the seamless joinery, and the dialogue between materials allows for the chair to feel timeless and considered rather than fleeting or overtly stylised.
Functionally and visually, this armchair demonstrates how mid-20th century European design could bridge tradition and modernity without sacrificing comfort or structural clarity. It is well suited to domestic living rooms, libraries, or quiet seating nooks while its understated modernism makes it versatile alongside both mid-century and contemporary interiors.
