Stalen bespanningsstof naar ontwerp van Theo Nieuwenhuis in passe-partout c. 1910

This artwork, "Stalen bespanningsstof naar ontwerp van Theo Nieuwenhuis in passe-partout," is a sample book of upholstery fabrics designed by Dutch artist Theo Nieuwenhuis (1866-1951) around 1910. The book contains four fabric samples, each showcasing a different pattern and color, including a green and white geometric design, a yellow and gray floral pattern, and two more subtle, white-on-white designs. The book is a testament to Nieuwenhuis's contributions to Dutch design, highlighting his innovative and sophisticated use of color and pattern. This design sample, now held in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the world of early 20th-century Dutch design and the evolution of interior design in the Netherlands.
