Dutch Gispen "1401" armchair in petrol blue fabric, Wim RIETVELD - 1950s

Easychair designed by Wim Rietveld for GISPEN. Model no. 415/401 was part of the “furniture for the modest interior” which was introduced in the mid fifties. Re-upholstered with a petrol blue fabric, the foam has been renewed as well. The grey frame shows its age, which is obvious being a sixty year old chair. Nice features such as the bakelite armrests and the platesteel back.
