About the Item
This dark stained pine bench by Ate van Apeldoorn, designed in the 1970s, is a strong example of Dutch Brutalist design rooted in craftsmanship and material honesty. Constructed from solid pine, the bench features a slatted seat resting on robust, architectural supports that emphasize structure and balance. The deep, almost ebonized finish enhances the pronounced grain of the wood, giving the piece a powerful presence while maintaining warmth and tactility. Characteristic of van Apeldoorn’s work, the design is both functional and sculptural, celebrating traditional joinery and straightforward construction without unnecessary ornament. Versatile in use, the bench works beautifully as seating in an entryway or living space, or as a low table or platform for objects. Its restrained form and timeless proportions allow it to sit comfortably in both modern and rustic interiors. A compelling and authentic piece of 1970s Dutch design, reflecting Ate van Apeldoorn’s enduring commitment to simplicity, craftsmanship, and material integrity.
