Dutch designer Theo Ruth (Netherlands 1915-1971) made
an icon of the fifties when he designed the “Congo Chair”
for Artifort in 1952. The chair is the designers’ interpretation
of traditional African seating. The chair comprises two
separate elements that cleverly fit together. Gravity does the
rest.wThe upholstery is “l’Afrique” by Studio Job. l’Afrique
emerged from the collaboration between Studio Job and
Land Rover (2012-13). The designers were asked to design
and produce a unique, sculptural Land Rover Defender on
the occasion of the 65th anniversary of the iconic vehicle.
The Defender is strongly rooted in Africa. The designers,
therefore, asked manufacturer Vlisco – a specialist for
more than 100 years in the production and distribution of
speciality fabrics for the African continent – to print a single
batch designed by Studio Job for the interior upholstery of
the Land Rover.
