Description

RICHARD HUTTEN (Zwollerkerspel, Holland, 1967). Pair of Berlage chairs. Oak and black fabric strips. In good condition. Presents manufacturing stamp on the back crossbar (made in Rotterdam). Measurements: 85 x 42 x 57.5 cm. Richard Hutten was inspired by architect Berlage's throne chair, created for the Dutch Van Hengel family in 1911. Its main feature is that the back of the chair extends to the back legs. Combining industrial creation techniques for the structure and artisanal techniques for the weaving of the seat using hand-tied straps, the finish is unique and unrepeatable. This chair is in the collections of the Gemeentemuseum The Hague and the Boijmans van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam. Richard Hutten opened his studio in Rotterdam after graduating from the Design Academy of Eindhoven in 1991. He is one of the leading exponents of Droog Design, in which he has been involved since its inception in 1993, making him one of the main founders of the famous Dutch design movement. He entered the international design scene with the conceptual pieces The Cross and S(h)it on it, positioning himself as a designer with his own discourse with the idea of 'no sign of design', functional pieces of a conceptual and humorous nature. Since 2008, Richard Hutten has been the artistic director of Gispen, the second largest and most famous furniture brand in the Netherlands, with almost 100 years of history. His work is part of the permanent collections of more than 40 museums worldwide, making him one of the most collected living designers. The list includes MoMa in New York, the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco, the Stedelijk Museum of Modern Art in Amsterdam, the Central Museum in Utrecht and the Vitra Design Museum, among others.
