About the Item
This rattan and steel basket is attributed to Dutch designer, Dirk van Sliedregt, and was manufactured by Gebr. Jonkers in the 1960s. Van Sliedregt was known for his minimalist yet functional approach to design, worked extensively with natural materials, often incorporating them into elegant, understated forms that reflected the modernist ideals of the post-war period.
De Gebroeders Jonkers (translated as The JonkersBrothers) was a furniture manufacturing company based in Noordwolde, a town in the Netherlands historically known as the center of wicker and rattan production. During the mid-20th century, the company gained prominence for its high-quality woven furniture and collaborations with forward-thinking designers like Dirk van Sliedregt. Their work contributed to the growing international reputation of Dutch design during the 1950s and 60s, particularly within the context of modernist and Scandinavian-inspired interiors. This basket has a metal structure covered in wicker. The organic material is carefully woven around the steel frame, which is painted black, creating a sleek, interesting effect. The combination of metal and wicker gives a modern look to this basket. With functionality at the design’s core, this model is a decorative piece that can be used in versatile ways. The size is perfect to store magazines, books, or even blankets, allowing these items to still be visible even while stored away. Dutch mid-century rattan pieces like this have a well-established history and have been highly sought after. This is mainly because of the craftsmanship and modern design that The Netherlands has been known for for over a century.
Whether used for storage or as a sculptural accent piece, it stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of mid-century Dutch design. The combination of natural material, thoughtful form, and historical significance makes this a coveted item for collectors and admirers of European design heritage.

Bas Van Pelt Black Lacquered Metal Magazine Rack, Netherlands, 1950s
By Bas Van Pelt, My Home Furniture 1
Located in Utrecht, NL
Bas van Pelt may be the most well-known for his seating designs, but this rare magazine rack shows the designer’s less known side. The design of this model feels contemporary and shows off the creativity of van Pelt.
This type of storage is often referred to as a display rack, which is especially apt for this model. The black lacquered wired metal body is arranged in an airy design that allows the display of magazines and books. The curving shape of the five arches create a modern, artistic look crowned - quite literally - by the single pole in the middle with a ring at the end. This feature gives the design that extra element that distinguishes it from other models, while also serving a functional role. The entire rack can be picked up easily thanks to the ring, further, it still manages to stand out and grab the eye despite its small size. The wooden bottom adds an organic touch that is a beloved feature of mid-century modern design and of Dutch designer, Bas van Pelt as well. It pairs very well with the black metal frame and both materials get visually enhanced as a consequence. The rack stands on four brass leg ends showing how attention was given to the smallest detail.
Whether used to hold magazines, newspapers or any other periodicals, this magazine display is sure to stand out. While serving a primarily functional role, this model is sure to stand out for its aesthetic qualities as well, reminding why mid-century modernism was one of the most creative design eras of all time.

Located in Utrecht, NL
In the professional field of interior design, certain pieces and types of furniture hold a timeless allure, effortlessly weaving together functionality, aesthetic appeal, and a rich history. Among these treasures is the simple, way too often overlooked, but extremely versatile stool,
This lovely piece from the early 20th century is entirely Crafted from the organic material rattan, and embodies a harmonious blend of natural beauty, craftsmanship, and functional elegance, making it a perfect accent piece for both modern and classic interior settings.
Rattan, derived from the climbing palms native to tropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Australasia, boasts a unique combination of flexibility, durability, and lightweight properties. As such, its pliable nature allows skilled artisans to deftly manipulate and weave it into intricate patterns, resulting in furniture pieces like this stool that exude both sophistication and an artisan, rustic charm. Similarly to traditional wooden furniture, rattan possesses a warmth and tactile quality that invites touch and appreciation of its natural texture.
The resurgence of stools in contemporary interior design can be attributed to several factors; Firstly, their compact size and versatility make them ideal for maximizing space in smaller living areas or apartments. Stools can easily be tucked away when not in use, serving as convenient additional seating when guests arrive or as a practical surface for holding books, plants, or decorative items. Moreover, their understated elegance, individuality, and timeless appeal complement a wide range of interior styles, from minimalist and Scandinavian to Bohemian and eclectic.
At the heart of this rattan stool's charm lies its exquisite weaving patterns and impeccable quality. Each strand of rattan is skilfully interlaced to form intricate circular motifs and geometric designs, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail of its maker. The weaving technique employed in crafting this stool results in a sturdy yet lightweight structure, capable of withstanding the test of time while retaining its graceful silhouette.
The stool's slightly splayed, bent legs add a touch of visual interest and stability, while the metal caps on its feet provide both protection and a subtle hint of industrial flair. This thoughtful combination of materials and design elements enhances the stool's durability and aesthetic appeal, ensuring that it remains a cherished heirloom for generations to come.
Versatile in its functionality, the rattan stool can serve as a humble pallet for showcasing curated collections or as an elegant flower pedestal, bringing a touch of natural beauty indoors. Its timeless allure and understated sophistication make it a beloved accent piece in modern interiors, where it serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of organic materials and masterful craftsmanship.
