The Amsterdam furniture company 't Woonhuys is closely linked to the origins of the Amsterdam School, a decorative and luxurious style that emerged in the Netherlands around 1915. Until then, 't Woonhuys mainly worked in historicizing styles that were executed by highly qualified craftsmen, using precious materials. The furniture was mainly sold to people with money. The furniture was too expensive for the common man.
Michel de Klerk and Hildo Krop were some of the leading designers with respect for the architecture of the Amsterdam school.
