A beautiful example of Dutch modernist design - elegant and full of character. The table’s clean geometry give it a timeless, architectural feel, while the oversized ball feet add a playful, unexpected touch reminiscent of Cor Alons and Frits Spanjaard’s iconic designs.
With its balanced proportions, this piece works perfectly as a coffee table or a side table. Its sculptural base makes it look interesting from every angle and adds a unique and refined Dutch Art Deco accent to thoughtfully designed spaces.
Expertly restored, the table is in very good condition. The oak surface has a soft satin glow that highlights the woodgrain, and the construction is solid and sturdy.
''Haagse School'' furniture manufacturing was centered in the city of The Hague with its rather affluent clientele.
In the 1920s, a style of architecture and furniture design emerged in The Hague that would become known as The Hague School. More sober than the imaginative Amsterdam School and more elegant and luxurious than De Stijl, this style is also called Dutch Art Deco.
After the First World War, young designers such as Henk Wouda, Cor Alons and J. Brunott developed their own modern design for the interior. They chose the work of the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright as the most important example. They combined their idiosyncratic preferences with the commercial requirements of the Hague furniture factories. The result was the now well-known Dutch 'Hague School' style with its straight and geometric, cubist lines and shapes.
