About the Item

An elegant occasional table or side table in oak, marked with metal tag L.O.V. Oosterbeek and documented - designed by A.F. (Adriaan Frederik) van der Weij (1885-1977). The tableis in very good condition, very well made and perfectly stable. The style is recognizable as Amsterdam School with its sculptural, organic lines. Van der Weij was employed as a full-time designer at LOV since 1915. He played a significant role in shaping the furniture factory’s body of work. Adriaan van der Weij was born in 1885 in Zaandam, where he also grew up. He took drawing lessons at the Quellinus School in Amsterdam, an institution originally founded by Pierre Cuypers to train a new generation of craftsmen in architecture and the applied arts. He was taught by Cuypers’ student K.P.C. de Bazel, who, unlike Cuypers, embraced the principles of theosophy and had made a name for himself as a prominent furniture designer. De Bazel’s influence is clearly visible in Van der Weij’s early furniture designs. Nonetheless, Van der Weij’s name will always be closely associated with the Amsterdam School. Background information Amsterdam School ''The Amsterdam School'' stands for the Dutch architectural movement that flourished between 1910 and 1940. The movement influenced other art forms and furniture designs. Some characteristics of the Amsterdam School include: Expressionist and organic shapes, decorative sculptural elements and a focus on craftsmanship. The Amsterdam School movement is seen as a very important chapter in Dutch architectural history and to this day a very recognizable and beloved style worldwide. ''Amsterdam School'' is a collective name for the exuberant, imaginative and innovative design style from the period 1910-1940 by a diverse group of Dutch architects, interior designers and sculptors. Influential architects and designers include Michel De Klerk, Hildo Krop, Piet Kramer and many others. The Amsterdam School embodies several contradictions. It is an architecture that is instantly recognisable yet difficult to define. It celebrates the communal and the social yet gives almost infinite room for individual expression. It can look hyper-modern yet curiously medieval. And, at its most creative, it can be utterly, infectiously bizarre. Amsterdam School architects designed a lot of exteriors and interiors in Amsterdam, but the style spreaded further all around the Netherlands. The Hague has its own variant, called The Hague School.
