Black bobbin chair with armrests and rush seat – c. 1900–1930
Bobbin chair with armrests
An elegant bobbin chair with armrests, known in Dutch as a klosjesstoel or knobbelstoel. Legs, stretchers, spindles and armrests are built up entirely from turned ‘bobbins’, and the armrests end in round knobs. The chair is lacquered black and has a hand-woven rush seat. Made in the period 1900–1930, in the tradition of Dutch and English bobbin furniture.
Why we chose this chair
The rhythmic bobbin turning in black against the natural rush is graphic and timeless. It is a chair that instantly gives both a classic and a contemporary space a playful touch.
Style and interior
Beautiful in a country, English cottage or eclectic interior, as a chair at the head of the table, next to a dressing table or as an accent in the bedroom. The black also makes it suitable for a modern or industrial interior.
