An eye-catching sofa designed by Theo Ruth and manufactured by Artifort in the Netherlands, circa 1950. This elegant piece has a birch metal base with a nice curved shape. The seat and back are newly upholstered in grey and white Richwool fabric which adds really nicely to it’s luxurious style. The thick seat creates a very comfortable seating experience which is complimented by the ergonomic shape of the backrests and the upholstered, curved armrests. A wonderful find of mid-century Dutch design that is highly recognizable! The sofa remains in very good condition with minor wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina. Theo Ruth can be considered the Pioneer of Artifort’s design traditions. After studying to be a furniture and interior designer in the Dutch city maastricht, he started working for Wagemans & Van Tuinen in 1936. First as a furniture maker and in 1939 he became head of the design- and manufacturing department. Ruth was Artifort’s first permanent designer. He was well-known for his cutting edge designs for mainly living rooms. His most famous chairs are the Congo (1952) and Penguin chair. He also inspired a lot of other designers at Artifort. Theo Ruth died in 1971, but his designs are still famous around the world as one of the highlights of Dutch design.
