About this vintage design furniture

Dutch Art Deco dining room in the style of Kramer and Hildo Krop, Netherlands, 1930s. Exuberant and sculptural solid oak Amsterdam School table and chairs. The Amsterdam School (Dutch: Amsterdamse School) is a style of architecture that emerged from about 1910 to 1930 in the Netherlands. The Amsterdam School movement is part of the international expressionist architecture, sometimes linked to German brick expressionism. Amsterdam School buildings are characterized by brick construction with intricate masonry with a rounded or organic appearance, relatively traditional massing, and the integration of an elaborate pattern of building elements inside and out: decorative masonry, art glass, ironwork, "ladder" spires or windows (with horizontal bars) and integrated architectural sculpture. Imbued with socialist ideals, the Amsterdam School style was often applied to working-class housing estates, local institutions and schools. For many Dutch cities, Hendrik Berlage designed the new urban plans, while the architects of the Amsterdam School were responsible for the buildings. In terms of architectural style, Michel De Klerk had a different vision than Berlage. In the magazine "Bouwkundig Weekblad 451916", Michel De Klerk criticized Berlage's recent buildings in the style of Dutch traditionalism. In this context, the Berlage Stock Exchange of 1905 can be seen as the starting point of traditionalist architecture. From 1920 to 1930, various parallel movements developed in the Netherlands: Traditionalism (Kropholler, partly Berlage), Expressionism (de Klerk, Kramer), De Stijl (Rietveld, Oud, van Doesburg with the De Stijl1917 manifesto against the "modern Baroque" of the Amsterdam school), Rationalism (van Eesteren, van Tijen, Merkelbach with the manifesto De-81927 against the Amsterdam school), Constructivism (Duiker, van der Vlugt), the specific brick cubism of Dudok and Berlage.The expressionist architecture of the Amsterdam School is the most successful style of the 1920s. For many foreign architects, Amsterdam was the "Mecca" of new city extensions. But the traditionalist movement lasted longer, until the 1950s, thanks to the so-called Delft School, represented by Martinus Granpré Molière at the Delft University of Technology. In the 1960s, the rationalist movement was dominant. In a well-known speech, the Dutch rationalist Willem van Tijen stated that the Amsterdam school was a cautionary tale for architects (published in Forum 91960-61). After Piet Kramer's death in 1961, no architectural institution or museum was interested in his expressionist work. Therefore, all his drawings, plans and models were burned.W 56 cm, D 56 cm, H 101 cm, SH 46 cm
