Lotus Armchair by Rob Parry for De Ster Gelderland, 1950s, The Netherlands

The Lotus armchair by Rob Parry is arguably one of the most iconic mid-century Dutch pieces and this particular model with an entirely timber frame is considered highly rare; it’s the precursor to later models with partially metal frames. Designed in 1952 for manufacturer Gelderland, the Lotus epitomises Dutch sophistication and functionalism. And comfort is front of mind - the angular form creates a deep nest into which you can settle, and the slender armrests and padded headrest offer extra comfort. This model is the high-back design, with a beautiful oak frame and Kvadrat Colline textured deep navy blue upholstery.

Parry is still recognised today in the realm of Dutch modernism for his innovative use of new techniques and materials. His wide range of work spanned industrial design, typography, interior design, and architecture; the Lotus is a beautiful and lasting example of his contribution to Dutch modernism.
