BERLAGE™ CHAIR The Berlage chair was designed by Hutten for the Grand Café of the Municipal Museum, located in the Netherlands. It emerged not as a chair with vertical legs, but one in which the line of the back extends through to the back legs. For the chair’s upholstery, Hutten drew his inspiration from the webbing used to attach the upholstery to the underside of the seat in the original design.
