This chair was part of the interior design of a private house on the Museumplein in Amsterdam. The occupant and commissioner was the tobacco wholesaler E.R. Harkema; his monogram EHR is carved in the wood of the seat’s front apron. Jan Mensing hand-printed the seat and back cover with a geometrical pattern of foliage and vine motifs.
