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
Martin Visser (Nl. 1922-2009)
Enamelled steel and aluminium. 244 x 85 x 75cm
’t Spectrum Bergeyk 1988. Model TE20. Aluminium and lacquered steel.
Rare modernist table designed by Martin Visser and Joke van der Heyden. This particular table appears to come from a small test series (or one of a series of prototypes whereby Visser was still experimenting with the design – there are some quite primitive connections and test holes where you can see Visser grappling with the design).
These first tables have a slightly different build than the later production tables; they do not have the rubber connections between the top and leg structures that the later tables had – Instead the illusion of the top floating above the base is created by incorporating a slight gap between the top and base sections. The same illusion is created at the base of the legs where a single rubber beyond view creates the illusion of the whole table floating slightly above the floor.
The booklet entitled ‘Martin Visser, collected work‘ contains a full description of the creation of the TE20.
Price: 7,650 euro
Designer/Maker unknown. Circa 1960s.
A beautifully proportioned and simply constructed limed oak wood low/salon table. It has a series of small plywood inserts visible on the shorter sides and visible box joints where the legs attach to the table top. The surface has been lime waxed.
Although it cannot be verified we believe that the table may be a design by Hein Stolle for ‘t Spectrum furniture.
Price: 1,900 euro
