Armstoel van notenhout, ingelegd met quasi oosterse karakters van tin c. 1900

This walnut armchair, designed by Carlo Bugatti around 1900, is a striking example of Art Nouveau furniture. Its geometric lines and intricate ornamentation, crafted from tin and inspired by Eastern aesthetics, are characteristic of Bugatti's style. The chair's high back, fringed upholstery, and sculpted legs create a sense of both comfort and grandeur. The use of natural materials and the emphasis on craftsmanship were central to the Art Nouveau movement, which sought to break away from the rigid, industrial aesthetic of the late 19th century.
