Frits Schuitema designer furniture is inspired by the design classics of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Frank Lloyd Wright.

The Schuitema collection represents the highest segment of Art Deco/Art Nouveau furniture. With the name of Jugendstil, art historians indicate the experiences conducted in Germany and Switzerland in the context of Art Nouveau. The term Jugendstil was inspired by the title of a magazine published in Munich, Germany, Jugend, founded in 1886. Jugend can be translated as "young", so Jugendstil can be interpreted as "New Style". The magazine published many works by contemporary authors promoting the Art Nouveau language of graphics and applied arts. Finally, the magazine Insel used the term Jugendstil in an article for the first time.
