Sofa table/ coffee table. 120 x 80 x 55.3cm high. Lacquered and stained oak and plywood.

A very modestly designed constructivist table whose size measures somewhere between a dining table and a coffee table. It is particularly useful as a table at the back of a sofa as shown. The design of the table is reminiscent of the earlier modernist designs by Gerrit Rietveld/ Vilmos Huszár and the De Stijl movement. (We have images available of its ingenious construction).

This unassuming, simple table was designed by Dutch furniture maker / architect Harry Vogelaars. It is signed and dated 1998.

Note: Cassina ‘Fiandra’ leather four part sofa by Vico Magistretti also available.

Price: On request

Wim den Boon (Nl.1912-68)

Solid wenge wood with chrome plated two part base. 190 x 86.5 x 72.5cm high

A unique bespoke dining table designed by Dutch architect Wim den Boon. In 1956 Den Boon was the architect of a residential project in the Dutch city of Wageningen – This house that still exists today (although in slightly altered state) and could be regarded as one of his best designs. Den Boon designed the house and most of the furniture for it. This table was part of that bespoke dining room, and was purchased from the family that commissioned the house.
It has a handmade chromed metal base in two triangular sections, and a 4.5 cm thick solid wenge wood top with curved sides that gives this table both a strict modern presence and a considered elegance and warmth.

This is an historical piece of furniture and an important part of the legacy of Wim den Boon as an important Dutch architect and interior designer.

Price: 3.000 euro
