Description
An authentic piece of Dutch Mid-Century Modern craftsmanship, this vintage rattan lounge chair was produced in the 1960s in Noordwolde, Friesland—the historic heart of the Dutch wicker industry—by the renowned manufacturer Rohé Noordwolde.
Designed with a light, architectural silhouette reminiscent of Dirk van Sliedregt’s iconic work, the chair pairs a hand-woven natural cane bucket seat with an industrial black lacquered tubular steel base.
Its signature double-hoop rim, crisscross lattice backrest, and tightly wrapped rattan bindings create an airy, sculptural profile that brings warmth to modern, bohemian, or Scandinavian interiors.

Vintage Condition
Preserved in strong, honest vintage condition. Looking closely at the structure, all rattan ribs, hoops, and hand-wrapped cane bindings—including the underside frame lashings—are intact with no snapping or unraveling. The rattan retains a rich, warm honey patina from age, while the black steel legs show light surface scuffs consistent with 60 years of gentle use. All four original black rubber foot caps remain present.
