1920s Armchair by J.W. Uiterwaal
Johannes (Jo) Wilhelmus Uiterwaal (1897-1972)
period: 1920s
origin: The Netherlands
dimensions (cm): h88 x w58 x d54 cm (sh44 / ar63 cm)
dimensions (inch): h34,65 x w22,83 x d21,26 in (sh17,32 / ar24,80 in)
material: leather, wood
The sculptor Jo Uiterwaal is remembered mainly for his monumental sculptures showing traits of Cubism and Futurism alongside their traditional essence. Less known is the fact that he and architect Gerrit Rietveld were befriended as young fellows, and that they made a number of furniture pieces together. It is undetermined whether this armchair is one of them, but it does clearly show De Stijl influences and is unmistakably reminiscent of Rietveld’s slat chairs.
