The architect Jan de Jong who worked closely together with Dom Hans van der Laan was responsible for the design of the church and its interior. They created an outstanding body of work ,very much defining what is called now the Dutch Bossche School style.
The artist Wim van Hoof was responsible for the entire colour scheme of the church and its interior (including these benches). The colour of the benches is mostly green but has a touch of brown with a silvery blue tint.
The benches were purchased after the demolition of the church in 2005 and is in a very nice original condition.
