A modestly sized accent table by Jan den Drijver for his shop by the name ''De Stijl'' in the Hague, in business until 1936. The table can be classified as The Hague School (Haagse School). The table is very modernist in shape and style - a sharp geometry, feet with black stained wooden squares on either sides and overall a perfect balance and symmetry.
A rare piece to own and an eyecatcher. Ideal as an accent piece or a plant table.
Jan den Drijver was not only a shop owner, but also an architect and interiordesigner. He is considered one of the Hague School modernists with a disctinctive style. Since his shop didn't exist long, pieces by him are quite rare.
The table is in good, lightly restored condition. Pictures taken in natural light and sunlight to provide an accurate impression of the colour and appearance.
The Hague School background information
After the First World War, young designers such as Jan den Drijver, Hendrik Wouda, Cor Alons and J. Brunott developed their own modern interior design. For inspiration they chose the work of the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright and combined their idiosyncratic preferences with the commercial requirements in furniture design of that time. The result was the now well-known Dutch 'Hague School' style with its straight and cubist shapes.
