stoel
c. 1941
Ethelbert Brown sketched this towering wooden seat around 1941, capturing the sturdy elegance of a traditional high-backed hooded chair. The perspective is sharp and architectural, highlighting the deep, enclosed backrest designed to keep drafts out—a cozy feature for chilly evenings. With its warm brown tones and visible storage nook beneath the seat, the piece feels both functional and majestic, almost like a miniature throne. It’s a wonderful example of mid-century design documentation, showing how everyday furniture can be elevated through careful observation.
