Mid Mod in Arnhem

We went mid-mod exploring recently in the town of Arnhem. First up was the "provinciehuis" from 1954. designed by architect Jo Vegter.






Then city hall. This opened in 1968, but had already been designed in 1959 by J.J. Konijnenburg (a former student of Rietveld).

Buy it now: vintage Intermediate Desk Chair

Selling a vintage Intermediate Desk Chair. These were only made from 1968 to 1973 and thus purty rare. It's in very good condition, with some damage to the chrome of one of the side antlers (see picture) and some pitting to the chrome on the base (common to these chairs). Also 2 buttons detached from the seat cushion (I have these, they only need to be re-attached). Made by Herman Miller (label to underside) in brown hopsack. Oh, and it also swivels! All this for 550 euros....
