This striking Art Deco sofa, designed by Dutch architect Michel de Klerk between 1917 and 1918, showcases the movement's characteristic geometric forms and sleek lines. De Klerk's signature style is evident in the sofa's tall, angular back and the intricate detailing of the armrests. The piece's dark wood finish and the contrast of the light green upholstery create a sophisticated and elegant aesthetic, embodying the Art Deco spirit of modernism and luxury.

Michel de Klerk was the leading representative of the Amsterdam School, a movement in architecture and decorative art in the 1910s and ’20s. As an architect, he designed expressive Modernist buildings. And architectural shapes characterize his furniture designs, which have carved details such as turtles’ and frogs’ heads. The table looks like a massive sculpture. Sledge-shaped feet make it possible to shift the heavy furniture.
