Hans van der Laan & Harry van Hal (Netherlands c20th)

Merbau wood. 175.5 x 131 x 76cm

This table was part of the original interior furnishings of the Bethlehem Church (Bethlehem Kerk) built in 1979 in Breda, Netherlands. It was designed by two Bossche School architects: Hans van der Laan, (the nephew of Dom Hans van der Laan) together with the Dutch architect Harry van Hal.

As the table had been stripped back to the wood by the previous owner we had surface/colour resurfaced back to its original intended bossche school warm grey colour (matching remnants of the previous paint still visible to the underside)

Price: 6.700 euro

Angelo Lelli (Italy 1911-1979)

Metal structure body with lacquered base with oxidised steel magnetised lamp/ball. 61.5cm high

‘Cobra’ lamp for Arredoluce, Italy. 1962 by Italian light designer and founder of Arredoluce Angelo Lelli.
This table lamp/sculpture model ‘12919’ known as ‘il Cobra’ by the workers at Arredoluce for its association with the form of the snake has pivoting black oxide steel magnetized “eyeball” socket set into what is in effect a midcentury biomorphic standing sculpture.
The quality of manufacture of these lamps is outstanding – they have a good substantial feel and weight to them. This one is completely original and in superb condition (no deterioration of the original finish as is common with these lamps, and with original plug and bulb).

Price: 7.500 euro

Dutch slatted low bench. Circa 1960s.

200 x 63.5 x 28cm high

A very well made (Solid teak and therefore quite heavy) bench that would work very well as a long bench at the end of a bed or beside a sofa to put books on.

Benches are rarely this large and low – The combination of its scale and weight make this bench a very useable piece of furniture in any modern home.

Price: 1.400 euro

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: 900 euro

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: 2.900 euro
