Dental Chair c. 1937

Lucien Verbeke’s "Dental Chair" from c. 1937 is a watercolor and ink drawing depicting a detailed design for a dental chair. The chair features a woven cane seat and back, a padded headrest, and a complex mechanism that appears to allow for adjustable height and tilt. The drawing includes a front view of the chair in watercolor and a line drawing of the chair's back view, offering a comprehensive look at the design. Verbeke's interest in furniture design is evident in this meticulous and evocative work. The chair's elaborate details and adjustable features speak to a period of technological advancement and the growing importance of comfort in dental practices.
