Bossche School Stools by Dom Hans van der Laan & Jan de Jong, Netherlands, 1970s

Creator: Dom Hans van der Laan
Offered by: Goldwood by Boris

Description
Rare set of stools from the 1970s, designed by the Dutch Benedictine monk and architect Dom Hans van der Laan and his apprentice Jan de Jong, exemplifying the distinctive Bossche School style. Crafted from pinewood painted in grey and featuring copper nails, these stools give a natural yet refined aesthetic. Reflecting van der Laan’s innovative "plastic number" ratio of 3:4, they offer harmonious proportions and a balanced simplicity, with functional openings on the sides that enhance their rational design. These stools are a testament to Dutch design history and van der Laan’s architectural legacy, prominently showcased in the St. Benedictusberg Abbey. With documented provenance, each stool is priced per piece.
