With the clean lines and minimalistic appearance it has a calm and serene apprearance. Suitable in many different interior styles.

Pictures all taken in natural light and 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 - as opinions may differ - to some 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.
