Pair of 20th Century Danish Chairs

Unusual pair of dutch design Danish Armchairs by Theo Ruth for Artifort Theo Ruth.

Artifort Theo Ruth may be considered the pioneer of Artifort’s design tradition. Ruth trained as a furniture designer and interior designer at the Middelbare Kunstnijverheidsschool in Maastrict ( later became the Academy of applied arts).

In 1936 Ruth joined Wagemans and Van Tuinen, first as a furniture maker and then, from 1939, as head of the design and development department. Ruth was the first permanent designer at Artifort furniture.
