Product Details

Product Description

Artifort, a well-known Dutch furniture brand with over 130 years of history, was founded by Jules Wagemans in 1890 in Maastricht. The brand's name, Artifort, was derived from the Latin words for "art or skill" and "strong and powerful". The breakthrough as an innovative and leading furniture company came in the early 1930s when the company started using Epeda innerspring in its furniture. In the 1950s, Kho Liang Ie played a significant role in Artifort's success with his great knowledge of design and aesthetics. Collaboration with top designers such as Pierre Paulin, Geoffery Harcourt, Jasper Morrison, and Wolfgang Mezger ensured that Artifort remained a leader as a design furniture brand. One of Pierre Paulin's designs for Artifort is the little globe F427 and F427B, designed in 1960. This swivel chair's name was inspired by the 1960s space programs and the first moon visit in 1969. The chair's original condition is still well-maintained, with a beautiful equal-aged patina in the fabric and a brandmark. In summary, Artifort is a longstanding Dutch furniture brand with a rich history, and its collaboration with talented designers has ensured that its designs remain timeless and highly sought-after today.
