OK, we know what you're thinking ........... this is supposed to be a blog about chairs, not interiors. Well, in our defence, it was the chairs what done it gov, honest!
The photos are from a renovation project in a heritage protected inner-city Amsterdam apartment. The objective was to increase the feeling of space through the 'white washing' of all surfaces. The sourcing and selection of mid-century furniture from dutch designers was crucial in creating a suitable atmosphere. Vintage pieces from Wim Rietveld (ummmmh), Martin Visser (aaahhhhhh), Rob Parry (ooooooh) and Friso Kramer (woaaaaaaah) contrast with the all white interior.

Can anyone help ID the moulded chair with the cat's cradle base - it looks like an Eames LAR, but its the wrong shape; the back is too low???
Update: Its an Eames La Fonda.
the eames chair is the La Fonda,it was designed for a restaurant and the low back matched the table height, originally they were used with the La Fonda one post leg, but i used the cats cradle instead.
