Bossche School Chair by Dom Hans van der Laan
-
Description
Dom Hans van der Laan, Bossche school, Netherlands, 1960s.
The chair was designed by the Dutch Benedictine monk and architect, Dom Hans van der Laan for the Abbey Church of St. Benedictusberg, near the town of Vaals (The Netherlands). Made out of pinewood and feature copper nails, giving this piece an natural and rustic feel. The whole piece is painted grey, including the nails. Functionality and rationality was key for Dom Hans, which is noticeable in the openings on the sides and on the back. This item is a beautiful piece of Dutch design history. Although Dom van der Laan left a small body of work behind, his legacy is highly regarded in the world of architecture. The St. Benedictusberg Abbey in Vaals and its interior quickly became his masterpiece at the age of 53.
