Martin Visser (Nl. 1922-2009)

Rare SE20 chair manufactured by ’t Spectrum Bergeyk 1980s. This late experimental Visser design from 1988 was only manufactured as a very limited production (20 or so?) making it a real collector or museum piece and prime example of Dutch postmodern design. It was manufactured in various colourways – this chair is a vibrant cobalt blue.

In superb hardly used condition.

plywood cube sculpture

Minimalist object/artwork composed of a series of six plywood cubes with diagonal divisions inside reminiscent of Donald Judd’s plywood art works. Circa 1980s.
Beautifully crafted, the six cubes are connected by one or two discrete rubber hinges (with a metal bar holding them in place) that enable the cubes to be unfolded vertically or horizontally in one direction along a single plain.

There are a few possible configurations as shown which enable it to be used as a shelving unit (with limited shelving space), a long bench, or simply as a decorative art object…

Each cube 40 x 40 x 40cm

Price: 2,100 euro
