Rattan Chair from Rohé Noordwolde, the Netherlands, 1950s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

A beautiful rare lounge chair manufactured by Rohé in the Netherlands around 1950.

Made of beautiful warm brown coloured rattan on a tubular black lacquered metal base. This unique piece has a very elegant design, with the rattan nicely bent into shape, and allowing an impressive seating comfort. The piece can perfectly be combined with a cushion but is beautiful on it’s own as well! The use of rattan is typical for Dutch design from the mid-century and this is a rare and especially elegant example of that style!

It remains in good vintage condition with some wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina.

About the Maker

Rohé Noordwolde

Dutch furniture manufactory Rohé Noordwolde was located in the small town of Noordwolde, in the northern province of Friesland. Although the history surrounding the company's inception and demise is unknown, the town itself has been long-associated with the rattan furniture industry, and vintage furniture and interior decor produced by Rohé in the 1950s is part of Noordwolde’s continued artisan heritage. Beginning in 1825 as a cottage industry, Noordwolde was producing over 200,000 wicker items a year by the end of the 19th century. Rohé Noordwolde contributed to this number, producing wicker dining chairs , lounge chairs , daybeds , and baby’s cribs.

The Dutch craftsman Dirk Van Sliedregt (1920-2010), known for his Model 514 Lounge Chair (1961) which featured a rattan seat on a chromed metal base, is often mistakenly thought to have designed for Rohé. Van Sliedregt designed for the manufacturer Gebroeders Jonkers, which was also located in Noordwolde, during the 1950s, '60s, and '70s.
