About the Item

This striking sculptural bench by Dutch artist Cor de Ree blurs the boundary between functional design and art object. Crafted from patinated copper and zinc, the piece reveals a meticulous construction of planes and volumes, with geometric inlays of stained glass adding subtle accents of colour. The material’s natural oxidation has developed into a soft, uniform patina, enhancing its character and depth. Both structural and poetic, the bench embodies the spirit of late-20th-century Dutch sculptural design—industrial in material, yet deeply human in expression. About the artist Cor de Ree (b. 1948, The Netherlands) is a Dutch sculptor and designer whose work explores the intersection of architecture, craft and sculpture. Working primarily with metal, glass and stone, de Ree creates pieces that balance solidity with openness, often imbuing functional forms with symbolic or architectural resonance. His works have been exhibited in galleries and public spaces throughout the Netherlands, reflecting a refined dialogue between structure, texture and light.
