About the Item
Designed by Jan de Jong for the Raadhuis Budel in the Netherlands in 1967, this rare high chair is part of the original interior of the Budel town hall. The building was designed and decorated entirely under the direction of Jan de Jong, one of the most prolific figures of the Bossche School. While most of the furniture was discarded during the renovation of 1997, a small number of residents were able to get a few pieces before going in the waste containers, preserving an important part of architectural history.
The chair is constructed in ash wood and features a dark brown-green lacquered surface that changes subtly with the light. Its clean geometry is accented with rows of copper nails, precisely placed to reveal its structural rhythm. Unlike the open-armrest version, this model has closed armrests with integrated circular cut-out handles, giving it a more enclosed and sculptural silhouette. The seat and armrests are upholstered in original olive green leatherette, which remains in beautiful vintage condition and adds a tactile layer to the piece’s disciplined form. The chair rests on a black painted solid metal frame, adding visual balance and stability.
The proportions of the chair are based entirely on the Plastic Number, the proportional system developed by Dom Hans van der Laan. This system ensured that every piece of furniture was intrinsically connected to the architecture it belonged to. The Budel town hall, designed in 1962 and completed in 1967, remains a landmark example of Bossche School architecture, even though its original interior was largely lost during renovation.
Dom Hans van der Laan provided the intellectual foundation of the movement, developing its proportional system and spatial logic, while Jan de Jong became its most accomplished executor. His impressive oeuvre includes dozens of projects ranging from complete buildings to interior spaces, renovations and advisory roles. Together with Wim van Hoof, who developed refined color schemes for their projects, they shaped a distinct architectural language. This chair stands as a rare and eloquent witness to that collaboration.
Provenance; Raadhuis Budel, council chamber, Netherlands 1967.

Martin Visser SE20 chair
t Spectrum Netherlands 1988
By Martin Visser
Located in Roosendaal, Noord Brabant
Super rare two tone version of the SE20 chair designed by Martin Visser and manufactured by 't Spectrum, Netherlands in 1988. The chair is made from yellow and off-white painted plywood. This unique chair has a ultimate modernist and contemporary appearance. This design blends various shapes and design techniques seamlessly into one iconic piece. The backrest has a slight angle for comfort and a nicely curved seat. The front legs are ingeniously made in a triangle shape for stability and are placed in the opposite angle to the back legs. Its quite a heavy and solid chair and is partly hollow which is found in the seat. Its held together by chrome-plated bolts which are made visible and give that little extra to the design. Its a really playful chair and could act more as an art piece than an actual chair. Its also attractive from every side. The chair is in good original condition with minor wear from age.

Chair by Dom Hans van der Laan, Netherlands, 1960s
By Dom Hans van der Laan
Located in Utrecht, NL
This chair was originally designed by the Dutch Benedictine monk and architect, Dom Hans van der Laan for the Abbey Church of St. Benedictusberg located near the Dutch town of Vaals. This easy chair is in an untouched condition. It was made of pinewood and feature copper nails, giving this piece an understated, rustic look. The chair was entirely painted grey, including the nails. The main focus of van der Laan’s design was functionality and rationality, which is reflected in the openings on the sides and on the back that serves the purpose of joining multiple pieces together.
This chair 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.

Two Chairs by Dom Hans van der Laan, The Netherlands 1960s
By Dom Hans van der Laan
Located in Utrecht, NL
This set of chairs was originally designed by the Dutch Benedictine monk and architect, Dom Hans van der Laan for the Abbey Church of St. Benedictusberg located near the Dutch town of Vaals.
These easy chairs are in an untouched condition. They are made of pine wood and feature copper nails, giving these pieces an understated, rustic look. The pair is entirely painted grey, including the nails. This specific colour was carefully selected by Whim van Hoof to resemble the original shade as closely as possible. The main focus of van der Laan’s design was functionality and rationality, which is reflected in the openings on the sides and on the backs serve the purpose of joining multiple pieces together, and lifting them.
Van der Laan was a leading figure in the traditionalist movement, the Bossche School, that held these values as well. These characteristics make these chairs charming, while also being beautiful pieces of Dutch design history. Although Dom Hans 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. This model is still found in the Dutch church named Sint Willibrorduskerk in Almelo, for which it was possibly designed for in 1964.
Condition:
In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Some small marks and scratches.

25.59 in W, 26.77 in D, 35.43 in H; Seat Height 15.94 in
