Vintage Dutch Congo & Pinguin Chair by Theo Ruth for Artifort

About This Piece

Vintage Design

Two stylish Artifort seats in very good vintage condition. These beautiful chairs designed by Theo Ruth for Artifort in 1957. Before that, an absolutely progressive design (based on African designer chair). This chair consists of two parts, easy to disassemble and store. The chair with arms is also called the 'Penguin' chair, the other the 'Congo' chair (for the African inspiration). The chair is provided with a light yellow substance. Both chairs have a stylish design with beautiful wooden legs and fantastic comfort. This comfortable lounge set is very special as a kit and is fantastic in both vintage and modern decor in a hotel lobby or store decoration. Definitely a must have for the design connoisseur. Night time! Measurements: Penguin chair: H80 x W75 x D74 cm, seating height 41 cm, depth 42 cm seating. Congo chair: H88 x W52 x D70 cm, seating height 41 cm, depth 37 cm seating.
