AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A truly unique set of Artifort armchairs for ladies and gentlemen. Numbered and bearing the Artifort logo. From the early period before Artifort moved on to more modern furniture. Truly the foundation of the Artifort brand, which continued under the name H. Wagemans & Van Tuinen until 1928; from then the new brand name was introduced: Artifort. Derived from the Latin word “Ars,” meaning art or craft, and “fortis,” meaning strong or powerful. The word “comfort” is also found in this brand name. A hallmark of these chairs is the Epeda inner suspension, a groundbreaking concept that was adopted from then on in place of the old coil springs. Theo Ruth, as the designer, had this applied to these two chairs. The chairs are used, but for their age they still have a good appearance.
Seller's Story
Stick to Original is the upholstery studio of Doelbeek Interieur. With more than 40 years of experience in (furniture) upholstery and interior custom work, we offer you the opportunity to own refurbished design furniture. (Vintage) design furniture is often subject to wear and tear; they are offered with phrases such as: "original fabric", "vintage quality" or "could use a refresh". These pieces are of lower quality and are not always attractive to look at. We take the original furniture, properly address the fillings, and equip the design piece with a new fabric. Stick to Original = stay with the original. Design furniture—quality workmanship and respect for the original restored with honor. The design piece gains a new look, but not at a new price. Quality and appearance are preserved. A refurbished piece on Catawiki may not match your fabric/leather preferences. Our other service is, via platforms such as Marktplaats, to search for a design piece you want and reupholster it in a fabric or leather that perfectly suits you. We have a wide collection of fabric swatches that you can view or take with you in the showroom. If desired we will send you cut samples so you can choose a good fabric at home. Via Catawiki or via Doelbeek Interieur, you’ll succeed!}
