A set of two side tables or stools with an architectural design, the Hague School, 1920s. These one of a kind tables were handmade in solid oak with subtle black stained details. They have a serene atmosphere and were most probably once used as plantstands or pedestals to elevate a work of art. They can now serve as distinctive Dutch Art Deco accent pieces or as small nightstands next to a low futon bed.
Pictures all taken in natural light and some in sunlight, to give a good idea of colour and condition.
In the 1920s, a style of architecture and furniture design emerged that would become known as The Hague School. More sober than the imaginative Amsterdam School and more elegant and luxurious than De Stijl, this style is also called Dutch Art Deco.
After the First World War, young designers such as Izeren, Wouda, and Alons and developed their own modern interior designs. They chose the work of the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright as their mailsource of inspiration. The result was the now well-known Dutch modernism/ Haagse School style with its straight and cubist shapes.
