Chair · Long Island City
Armchair, Model No. 1105
Ewald Holtkamp (American, born Germany, born 1900-after 1947) · Long Island City · 1940
Finnish architect Alvar Aalto's designs of the early 1930s for bent plywood furniture immediately challenged German steel tube furniture as icons of modernism. His furniture became available in America in the late 1930s, and in 1940 he opened a retail outlet, Artek-Pascoe, in New York City. This chair by Ewald Holtkamp was part of a large order purchased from Artek-Pascoe in 1941 or 1942 to furnish a modern house in Farmington, Connecticut.
