Dom Hans van der Laan was the ninth of the 11 recorded children of Leiden architect Leo van der Laan (1864–1942). Dom van der Laan began his studies in architecture at the Technische Universiteit Delft in 1923, two years after he finished his secondary school. Architectural education in those days was generally confined to nineteenth-century neoclassicism and all teachers originated from before the first world war. Students in their third year of study had to make their designs, but those of Hans van der Laan were all rejected. In the same autumn, he founded, together with some fellow-students, a study-group, the Bouwkundige Studiekring’BSK (‘Architectural Study Circle’), aiming to discover themselves the very basics of architecture, which they missed in regular teaching. On 26 May 1929, Hans van der Laan and his fellow-novice Herman Diepen made their profession in the abbey. In 1936 father Hans was charged with the guidance in the sacristy, which he would retain till his departure to Vaals in 1968. After the war, father van der Laan was invited by the bishop of Breda to take the guidance of a working party, charged with the rebuilding of the destroyed churches in the diocese. In 1951, the abbey of Sint-Benedictusberg in Vaals had been founded a second time by a group of monks of the Saint-Paul's abbey of Oosterhout and father Van der Laan was asked by them to design the still missing crypt and church. On 18 October 1968, father Van der Laan changed his domicile from Oosterhout to Vaals, where in 1970, he became an official member of the community of Sint-Benedictusberg. In his new home, he also was appointed as sacristan, so that he could continue his familiar daily work and in 1973 he was elected as a member of the Council, the board under the guidance of the abbot. Before his death, Van der Laan garnered worldwide acclaim for his comprehensive architectural theory, which has been translated into several languages and presents a doctrine of connections in the design of architectural space, notably the plastic number.

Dom Hans Van Der Laan Dining Table in Blue
By Dom Hans van der Laan
Located in Waalwijk, NL
Dom Hans van der Laan, dining table, lacquered pine, metal, The Netherlands, 1980s Dutch Benedictine monk and architect Dom Hans van der Laan designed the present table around the 1980s. The model also found a place in the interior design of St. Benedict's Abbey in Vaals, The Netherlands (1956-86), the convent for Franciscan nuns in Waasmunster-Roosenberg, Belgium (1972-75), and, the Benedictine Abbey of the Sisters of Mary Mother of Jesus in Mariavall-Tomelilla, Sweden (1987-95) in the same blue color. 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. Since the 1940s, van der Laan has been meticulously crafting liturgical objects...
