Aligned with his theoretical pursuits, he valued both the design of individual objects and architecture equally. His approach centers on perceiving liturgy as a transformative process, elevating ordinary actions to a sacred realm. With its restrained character and ascetic formal language, the furniture and liturgical items seamlessly integrate into the comprehensive design of the buildings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince the 1940s, van der Laan has been meticulously crafting liturgical objects for churches, consistently adhering to the principles of the plastic number. Each piece of furniture is not only intricately sketched and designed but is also assigned a specific place within the interior. The furniture is crafted based on a foundational system first implemented by him in Vaals in the onset of the 1960s. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe sideboard exemplifies Van der Laan's pursuit of an architecture of proportion distilled into furniture. Its rectilinear form is articulated through a carefully ordered composition of planes and recessed volumes, with five drawers defined by precise borders that reinforce the geometric rhythm of the façade. Above them, a hinged leaf extends upward to reveal a generously proportioned storage compartment, introducing an unexpected versatility within its austere exterior.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBiography\u003cbr\u003eIn 1904, Hans van der Laan was born into a family of architects in Leiden. His father and brothers, Jan and Nico, were also architects. Between 1923 and 1926, he pursued his architectural studies in Delft under the guidance of M.J. Granpré Molière (1883-1972), a leading figure among Dutch Catholic architects of that era. However, van der Laan discontinued his work in Delft within a few years, dissatisfied with the lack of fulfillment in his quest for the 'essence of architecture.'. In 1926, he sought a deeper spiritual connection and chose to become a monk at St. Paul's Abbey in Oosterhout. In 1934, he was ordained as a priest and became increasingly immersed in the realms of liturgical design and architecture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the Second World War came to an end, Hans van der Laan, accompanied by his brother Nico, was enlisted to lead and guide the reconstruction in Catholic architecture. In 's-Hertogenbosch, he directed the Ecclesiastical Architecture course, specifically dedicated to the construction of churches. This initiative laid the foundation for the 'Bossche School,' where van der Laan played a crucial role as the primary architect and theoretician. Under his leadership, the primary focus was placed on the fundamental essence of all architecture: Well-proportioned and human-scale dimensions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the realm of 20th-century architectural history, the monk-architect held a distinctive position. Amidst the conflict between traditionalists and modernists in The Netherlands, van der Laan formulated his unique perspectives and formal language. His buildings and writings alike reflect a dedicated exploration of the laws of architecture and the connection between humanity and nature. The legacy left by the architect comprises a modest yet significant collection, encompassing seven buildings, including several monasteries, a chapel, and a church library. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a theorist, van der Laan dedicated a significant portion of his life to contemplating form, proportion, and the human experience within architectural spaces. His focus centered on exploring the essence of architecture, leading him to formulate a comprehensive theory involving space, shape, and size. Central to his ideas was the plastic number, a three-dimensional extension of the golden ratio. This numerical concept sheds light on the proportional relationship between the thickness, length, and width of architectural elements. Apart from architectural creations, van der Laan applied the principles of the plastic number to design liturgical items, notebooks, uniforms, and furniture, resulting in a subtly impactful body of work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDom Hans van der Laan, a Dutch Benedictine monk and architect, played a pivotal role as a key figure in the Bossche School. Renowned for his influential theories on numerical proportions in architecture, his ideas continue to be explored and shared. On August 19, 1991, Hans van der Laan passed away at the St. Benedictusberg Abbey near Vaals.","brand":"Morentz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54217797927255,"sku":null,"price":20800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5187\/1548\/files\/45009708_St_P_7_eb17980b-52c9-42c2-aba9-11e6dedd62df.jpg?v=1785847168"},{"product_id":"jindrich-halabala-stools-in-decorative-upholstery-22","title":"Jindrich Halabala Stools in Decorative Upholstery","description":"Jindrich Halabala for UP Závody, footstools, tabourets, ottomans, fabric, beech, Czech Republic, 1930s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis poetic pouf, designed in the 1930s at the height of the Art Deco movement, stands out for its artistic upholstery, which still retains its original fabric, and its intriguing construction.

Taito’s reputation grew among prominent architects, making it one of Finland’s leading lighting manufacturers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter World War II, Tynell expanded his influence to the United States, opening a store in New York City in April 1948, and introducing the Finland House Originals collection. Under that label, he developed several “musical” lines: Crescendo, Concerto, Sonata, Humoresque, Fantasia, and Allegro, each meticulously crafted and artistically conceived, that serve as exquisite decorative pieces with a highly personal, handcrafted touch. The 9029 chandelier, part of the Concerto series, stands as a testament to that creative era, showcasing Tynell’s artistry and Taito’s meticulous craftsmanship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Concerto is introduced by the Finland House Lighting catalogue as follows:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Here are exciting new lighting effects that enliven traditional settings, soften modern, lend a gay festive feeling to any interior they grace. For the finer home or public place Concerto is sheer theatre. Although generously scaled, their see-through look has the airy lightness needed in today's smaller, lower-ceilinged rooms. Naturally, they have the lighting features you expect of Finland-House Originals.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBiography\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinnish designer Paavo Tynell (1890-1973) began his career as a blacksmith. After studying to become a master craftsman at the University of Art and Design in Helsinki, he founded his own manufacturing company named Taito Oy. During his career, he collaborated with fellow Finnish designers and architects such as Alvar Aalto. Their collaboration proved to be very fruitful and achieved Tynell’s reputation of “the man who illuminated Finland.” Tynell’s international design influence grew thanks to the Finland House located in New York and allowed him to see himself trusted with prestigious orders both for public buildings such as the UN but also for important private collections. Based on existing models, custom versions were ordered by the Finnish upper-class. Tynell's designs are characterized by organic forms and the use of perforated brass in combination with unusual materials for lighting such as straw and cane.","brand":"Morentz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54297779044695,"sku":null,"price":26500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5187\/1548\/files\/50119256_St_P_8.jpg?v=1786279646"},{"product_id":"carl-axel-acking-swedish-modern-chandelier-in-perforated-brass-3","title":"Carl-Axel Acking Swedish Modern Chandelier in Perforated Brass","description":"Carl-Axel Acking for Bröderna Malmströms Metallvarufabrik, chandelier, variation on model '958' brass, Sweden, 1940s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1939, the young architect and designer Carl-Axel Acking (1910–2001) was entrusted with one of the most prestigious commissions of pre-war Swedish design: contributing to the Swedish Pavilion at the New York World’s Fair. The pavilion, inaugurated on April 30, 1939, was Sweden’s official showcase for its national identity. Designed by the architect Sven Markelius (1889-1972) with Folke Bernadotte as Commissioner General, the event involved some of the country’s most forward-thinking architects, designers, and manufacturers. Acking designed both furnishings and lighting fixtures for some of the pavilion’s representative spaces, including Bernadotte’s own office. It was here that the 958 model chandelier, manufactured by Bröderna Malmströms Metallvarufabrik in Malmö, made its debut.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased in Malmö, Bröderna earned its place among other major players in the Swedish lighting industry, including Nordiska Kompaniet in Nyköping, Ateljé Lyktan in Åhus, and Böhlmarks in Stockholm. Together, these companies shaped not just the market but also the cultural identity of lighting design in Sweden during the 20th century. The company was known for its high-quality metal craftsmanship and its collaborations with leading Swedish designers and architects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe present chandelier is a variation on model '958' designed in 1939, and is defined by three rounded shades with gracefully curved silhouettes. Smaller reflectors – with the light bulbs concealed – are positioned below and affixed to the elegantly curved arms. The double-reflector principle (where one reflector directs light upward into another, larger reflector) appears in several other works by Bröderna Malmströms, especially in their collaborations with Acking. In the broader discourse of the 1920s and 1930s, this approach resonates with contemporary debates on rational lighting design, a topic explored in the Swedish Journal of Light Culture (founded 1928). Theorists and practitioners sought to educate architects and consumers alike in the principles of glare reduction, indirect illumination, and material optimization. Acking absorbed these ideas and transformed them into practice. The reflectors diffuse a soft ambient light, while fine streaks escape through the perforations of the shade. This model captures Acking’s fusion of sculptural form and technical precision, turning light fixtures into architectural elements rather than mere sources of illumination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarl-Axel Acking was part of a new generation of Swedish architects who shaped the character of Swedish Modern, a style that blended the simplicity of functionalism with the tactility of fine craftsmanship and softly shaped forms. Educated at the Royal Institute of Technology and what is now Konstfack in Stockholm, he combined technical precision with an acute sensitivity to materials and detail, working across the fields of architecture, custom furniture, interior design, and lighting. For Acking, lighting was never an afterthought but a vital architectural component; a medium through which structure, atmosphere, and function converged. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Morentz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54297788449111,"sku":null,"price":48000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5187\/1548\/files\/50119193_St_P_17.jpg?v=1786279655"},{"product_id":"hans-bergstrom-for-atelje-lyktan-pendants-in-patinated-copper-2","title":"Hans Bergström for Ateljé Lyktan Pendants in Patinated Copper","description":"Hans Bergström for Ateljé Lyktan, set of three ceiling lights, patinated copper, Sweden, 1940s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSwedish designer Hans Bergström designed this wonderful pendant in the 1940s.

After his completion of secondary school in 1927, Hans embarked on an internship at Ystad Metall, a local craft industry situated near his grandfather's farm. In 1929, he sought further education and enrolled at the esteemed School of Art and Design in Stockholm. Remarkably, even before his graduation from this institution, at the age of twenty, Hans showcased his prowess as a designer for Ystad Metall at the prestigious Stockholm Exhibition in 1930.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the 1920s, Hans encountered his future wife Verna during the summer holidays in his native town of Karlshamn. In 1934, the couple jointly established the company ateljé Lyktan, a venture that combined their collaborative efforts in luminaire design and various artistic pursuits. Bergström undertook various commissions spanning a wide range of architectural environments, including churches, private residences, and public buildings. It was from this point forward that Bergström spearheaded a revolution in Swedish luminaire manufacturing, fundamentally transforming the perception and application of electric lighting in the coming decades. \t \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the advent of the 1950s, the emergence of plastic as a novel material in modern lighting captured Hans' attention. As the United States gradually introduced plastic as a material of significance, Bergström encountered a method involving the application of sprayed plastic onto a rotating wire frame, facilitated by a spray gun. Interestingly, this technique bore certain resemblances to the later approach employed by Achille \u0026amp; Pier Giacomo Castiglioni in the creation of their Viscontea Lamp (1960), reminiscent of a cocoon, designed for Flos. Recognizing the vast potential offered by this new technology, he successfully managed to get a patent for the production.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor a span of three decades, Bergström held the position of creative director at ateljé Lyktan and served as the sole designer of the company until the early 1960s. A significant portion of his designs were unique pieces, numbered but lacking specific names. Through his pioneering work, Bergström emerged as a leading figure in the realm of modern Swedish lighting fixtures. On June 14, 1996, Hans Bergström passed away at the age of 86, leaving behind a remarkable legacy.

B.B.P.R. was thus an acronym formed from the first letters of their family names. The architects found each other in their opposition to fascism in Italy in the 1930s and 1940s during Mussolini's autocratic regime. The architects therefore believed in developing a style that would have no references to contemporary politics. During the Second World War, they all joined the resistance. However, Rogers, a Jew, fled to Switzerland and both Belgiojoso and Banfi were deported to the Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria, where Banfi died in 1945. Despite the immense loss of Banfi, their architectural practice continued in the same name as before after the war. Especially during the 1950s, they created many of their great projects. With their designs, they strongly reacted against the International Style with its rectilinear forms and taut plane surfaces that have been completely stripped of applied ornamentation. Instead, the group enriched their buildings with medieval references. For B.B.P.R., their philosophy on art and architecture is somewhat between tradition and modernism; their use of post-beam structures and modular elements parallels with the constructive thinking of modern architects. However, as modernism rejects the existence of historical forms, B.B.P.R. reinterprets history's heritage and continues with respect for the work of their predecessors. Ernesto Nathan Rogers referred to it as “preesistenze ambientali” (the pre-existing environment) and adopt a “caso per caso” (case by case) interpretation to work with, instead of against, the surroundings. One of their well-known designs is the creation of the Torre Velasca in Milan, with strong references to medieval architecture.

In 1948, Chambron resigned from his job as a painter and decorator on the Rue Nollet in Paris to move to Lille, in the North of France and join Guillerme. A year later, the two met cabinetmaker Émile Dariosecq, who was the owner of a workshop close by. It was during this meeting, that they decided to create their own company. They named it “Votre Maison”, meaning “Your Home”, which became the soul of the company. With this, they wanted to create pieces that focused on functionality combined with a beautiful design useful for daily life, by which they created a worldwide reputation. Most of the furniture designed by this duo shows a strong character and has a great expressive woodwork. The three of them divided their work equally. Overall, Guillerme worked as a designer, Chambron as a commercial, and Dariosecq’s workshop manufactured the pieces.

Its form and choice of materials reflect the exceptional craftsmanship characteristic of the Valabrega studio. The table features a chestnut base with elegantly sculpted, undulating and interlocking supports. Above this architectural foundation rests a round glass top, seemingly floating to reveal the intricate and beautifully detailed base beneath. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eItalian designer Ernesto Valabrega (1901-1944) was born in Turin, as the son of celebrated designer and cabinetmaker Vittorio Valabrega (1861-1952).  His father Vittorio was, together with his brother, the founder of Fratelli Valabrega (Valabrega Brothers Company, since 1884) that was situated in Turin. During the 1890s, Vittorio became the sole owner of the company and had great success with his refined wooden furniture. Vittorio Valabrega became well-known for his furniture in the floral Art Nouveau style, but as a true child of the 19th century, his company also manufactured furniture in Neo-Renaissance and the French Rococo Louis XV-style. His designs received positive attention and were awarded at World Exhibitions. At the famous exhibition in Paris in 1900, Vittorio even received a gold medal. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It was at the age of 24 that Ernesto got on board with his father’s business. His involvement from 1925 onwards had a great impact on the company. Ernesto decided to change the company’s name to Mobilart in 1928 and radically redirected the course. Whereas Vittorio was inspired by a variety of contemporary and historic styles, Ernesto chose for a different approach. He renounced the 19th century mixture of styles and approached furniture design in the same manner as the highly influential William Morris of the English Arts and Crafts movement. Their reform was an artistic reaction to the widespread industrialization of the 19th century.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eErnesto despised products of poor quality and chose high quality materials that would last a lifetime. The furniture he created in the late 1920s and 1930s are a true testament to his beliefs.

Rasmussens Snedkerier, pair of dining armchairs, model '3758A', fabric, oak, Denmark, design 1930, made 1940s \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese dining chairs were designed in 1930 and made in the 1940s. The seat and backrest are upholstered in a fabric distinguished by its black and off-white striped pattern. Referred to as the Red Chair, they were originally conceived for the lecture hall of the Danish Art and Design Museum. Gustav Falck, the director of the National Gallery of Denmark, possessed a collection of antique English chairs in the Chippendale style dating back to circa 1750-1760. In September, the museum borrowed the \"finest\" chair from Falck's collection, that Ole Wanscher would examine. This research served as inspiration, leading to the completion of the design and the final model by Rud. Rasmussens Snedkerier in November 1927. Subsequently, Klint adapted the chair for his sectional tables, stimulating the need for smaller variations, available in three sizes and with or without arms. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, these chairs gained international acclaim when they were exhibited at the World Exposition in Barcelona, earning the prestigious grand prix medal in 1929. As a result of this recognition, they became known as the 'Barcelona Chair.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKaare Klint (1888-1954), born in 1988 in Frederiksburg, Denmark, was a Danish architect and furniture designer. From a young age, Klint was immersed in architecture. His father was the well-known architect Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint, who is mainly known for designing the Grundtvigs church in Copenhagen. After studying at the P.S. Krøyer’s Art School from 1907, Klint made his debut as a designer. That year, the Association of Furniture Manufacturers in Copenhagen announced that they would hold a competition for designer furniture. Klint submitted, together with Ivar Bentsen, under a code name and together they received first price. In 1924, Klint helped establishing the Department of Furniture Design at the Royal Danish Academy of fine Arts. As associate professor, and later professor, he inspired some of the greatest and most well-known Danish designers, including Hans J. Wegner and Arne Jacobsen. Klint worked and thought along a few strong principles being the importance of former styles. He believed that the only way forward was to have a deep knowledge of craftsmanship. One of his other core principles was to research functionality and have an outstanding sense of proportion, space and the human body. Overall, Klint drew inspiration from the Shakers, Chippendale and Biedermeier. Kaare Klint's style from the 20s and 30s has had a lot of influence on other designers in both Europe and the United States. Amongst others Børge Mogensen, Finn Juhl and Poul Kjærholm have taken influence from Klint. Therefore, Kaare Klint can be seen as the father of Danish midcentury design.","brand":"Morentz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54297820594519,"sku":null,"price":12900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5187\/1548\/files\/50117122_St_P_15.jpg?v=1786281656"},{"product_id":"set-of-four-french-postmodern-dining-chairs-in-elm-and-black-upholstery","title":"Set of Four French Postmodern Dining Chairs in Elm and Black Upholstery","description":"Set of four dining chairs, black fabric, solid elm, France, 1970s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeautiful set of four dining chairs made in France during the postmodern design period.

The warm glow of the wood, the restrained proportions and the rhythmic grid of raised panels characterize the piece.  Yet behind this refined appearance lies a designer with a remarkably avant-garde past: Nicolaj Diulgheroff (1901–1982), one of the distinctive figures of Italian Second Futurism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiulgheroff was born in Kyustendil, Bulgaria, in 1901. His path to Italy led him through the artistic avant-garde of the interwar years. After a brief period of study at the Bauhaus in 1923, he settled in Turin in 1926, having first encountered the city during his honeymoon. Turin proved to be a fertile environment for the young designer. Open to new ideas in art, architecture and design, the city brought him into close contact with the Futurist movement. Alongside his work as an architect and interior designer, Diulgheroff developed a strong graphic practice, producing posters and advertising designs, most notably for the Cora company, designing the offices located inside Palazzo Gualino by Giuseppe Pagano Pogatschnig \u0026amp; Gino Levi Montalcini. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy the time this cabinet was designed, around 1945, the most radical phase of Futurism lay behind him. The language of the piece is quieter, richer and more closely attuned to the sophisticated domestic interiors of post-war Italy. Its rectangular form is softened by the warmth and depth of the timber, while the doors are animated by a carefully ordered pattern of gently projecting square panels. Its combination of traditional luxury, fine craftsmanship and abstract geometry recalls the work being produced in Milan by designers such as Paolo Buffa and Osvaldo Borsani.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA comparable example is known to have formed part of Diulgheroff’s own collection, suggesting that it was cherished within the family.

Executed in copper, the surface has developed a beautiful natural patina over time, adding warmth and character to the piece. The shade is perforated with elongated openings that softly filter the light and create a refined play of light and shadow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHans Bergström (1910-1996), a luminary figure hailing from the realm of Swedish architecture and design, was born on November 4, 1910, in Karlshamn, Sweden. After his completion of secondary school in 1927, Hans embarked on an internship at Ystad Metall, a local craft industry situated near his grandfather's farm. In 1929, he sought further education and enrolled at the esteemed School of Art and Design in Stockholm. Remarkably, even before his graduation from this institution, at the age of twenty, Hans showcased his prowess as a designer for Ystad Metall at the prestigious Stockholm Exhibition in 1930.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the 1920s, Hans encountered his future wife Verna during the summer holidays in his native town of Karlshamn. In 1934, the couple jointly established the company ateljé Lyktan, a venture that combined their collaborative efforts in luminaire design and various artistic pursuits. Bergström undertook various commissions spanning a wide range of architectural environments, including churches, private residences, and public buildings. It was from this point forward that Bergström spearheaded a revolution in Swedish luminaire manufacturing, fundamentally transforming the perception and application of electric lighting in the coming decades. \t \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the advent of the 1950s, the emergence of plastic as a novel material in modern lighting captured Hans' attention. As the United States gradually introduced plastic as a material of significance, Bergström encountered a method involving the application of sprayed plastic onto a rotating wire frame, facilitated by a spray gun. Interestingly, this technique bore certain resemblances to the later approach employed by Achille \u0026amp; Pier Giacomo Castiglioni in the creation of their Viscontea Lamp (1960), reminiscent of a cocoon, designed for Flos. Recognizing the vast potential offered by this new technology, he successfully managed to get a patent for the production.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor a span of three decades, Bergström held the position of creative director at ateljé Lyktan and served as the sole designer of the company until the early 1960s. A significant portion of his designs were unique pieces, numbered but lacking specific names. Through his pioneering work, Bergström emerged as a leading figure in the realm of modern Swedish lighting fixtures. On June 14, 1996, Hans Bergström passed away at the age of 86, leaving behind a remarkable legacy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKindly note that making the lamps suitable for long-term outdoor use will incur additional costs.
