1910–1930
Amsterdam School
Brick expressionism, built by hand
A Dutch movement of the 1910s and 1920s that treated brick, wood and iron as expressive materials rather than neutral ones. In furniture it means heavy, faceted forms and visible construction.
What to look for
Faceted rather than curved shapes, visible joinery, and proportions that look architectural rather than domestic.
