teak sideboard

Henry Rosengren Hansen (Denmark c20th)

Brande Møbelindustri, Denmark, 1960

A very rare long teak sideboard with sliding doors designed by one of the best of Danish designers for one of the top Danish companies. The beauty with these sideboards is both the simplicity and modesty of design combined with the highest quality of finish visible especially in the details. It has easy sliding doors and a variety of shelves and drawers inside that can be easily adjusted to the required height.

Price: 4.800 euro

architectural throne chair

Brutalist / Structuralist chair. Netherlands. Circa 1960s/70s.

Steel & leather/hide.

An interesting architectural chair. Its construction and manufacture lead us to believe that it is possibly a prototype? – Its design reflects the style of post-war structuralist architecture/interiors typical of several Rotterdam architects from the period. (we are still researching the design).

Price: 4,400 euro

x2 Artifort Stick chairs

Bruno Ninaber van Eyben (NL. 1950-now)

Artifort. 1970s. Plywood.

The model 020 ‘Stick’ chair was designed by Dutch industrial designer Bruno Ninaber van Eyben in 1977.

The design is made up of three constituent parts that fit together: two pieces of angled plywood and a length of stick with a round profile. The stick in the middle connects the plywood pieces and functions as the backbone and strength of the chair.

These rare chairs were manufactured in very limited numbers due to the production costs and difficulties. Only 150 of these chairs were produced. Apart from its low production numbers the other reason that so few exist is because they can easily get damaged – Due to the stool’s fragility we recommend that it should be purchased by a design lover that appreciates its sculptural qualities rather than its functionality!

The plywood has been refinished.

Price: 3.950 euro (per piece)

Dom Hans vd Laan desk. 1960s

Dom Hans van der Laan (NL 1904-1991)

Early desk
This desk was made for a private residence in the Netherlands in the 1971. It were commissioned as part of a complete interior refurbishment by Bossche School architects Louis de Kok/Fons Vermeulen. The olive colour wash was conceived by the artist Wim van Hooff whose colour schemes were utilised by many Bossche School designs during the mid century period.
The desk is particularly rare being that it is one of a limited number of vd Laan’s designs that were applied to domestic rather than ecclesiastical environments.
_Full provenance available

Prices: Desk: 12,000 euro  (Stool: SOLD)

Paul Wintermans bracket table with floating glass

Paul Wintermans (Nl. late c20th)

‘Beugeltafel’ /Bracket table 1980s.

170 x 55 x 42cm high

The architect Paul Wintermans has been designing furniture primarily for architectural projects since the 1980s. This furniture was produced as unique pieces or as very limited productions. Wintermans furniture designs can be found in the collection of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.

This table is an ingenious engineered design, constructed from three separate pieces: A sheet of glass sandblasted except for two clear stripes that act both as a design feature and help position the two steel rod feet with adjustable fixings. The two feet simply lean into the structure which when combined with the weight of the glass enables the structure to clamp into place.

Price: 1,700.00 euro
