An extra-large Dutch modernist drafting table designed by Wim Rietveld and Friso Kramer for Ahrend de Cirkel, 1959. It is a true piece of post-war Dutch industrial design: rational, structural and completely functional, and today just as attractive as a statement desk as it is as a working drafting table. Design The table shows everything that defined Dutch design of the period: honest materials, visible mechanics and clear construction. The generous top (120 x 80 cm) can be adjusted in height and angle by means of two characteristic rotary knobs on either side of the steel frame. The laminated steel hinge system is both a technical solution and a visual signature of the design. The frame is made of lacquered steel with a slim, architectural profile, and the warm-toned laminate top forms a subtle contrast with the industrial base. The construction is robust yet visually light. Condition Very good condition considering its age, with minimal signs of use. The mechanisms function smoothly and the structure is stable and original. Please see the photos for details. Dimensions: width 130 cm, depth 90 cm, height 75 cm. Tabletop 120 x 80 cm. Height in horizontal position adjustable from 73 cm (lowest) to 114 cm (highest). About the designers Wim Rietveld (1924–1985), son of Gerrit Rietveld, developed his own industrial design language focused on serial production, structural clarity and affordability. Friso Kramer (1922–2019) is one of the most influential Dutch industrial designers of the 20th century, known for his minimalist, engineering-driven designs such as the Revolt chair. Together they designed several pieces for Ahrend and De Cirkel, and their work is held in the collections of museums such as the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. How to use it Use it as intended, as a drafting or drawing table for an architect, designer or artist, or set it flat as a large desk or work table in a home office or studio. It also makes a strong display table in a shop or gallery. It pairs well with Kramer's Revolt and Result chairs, Gispen and Tubax furniture, Jean Prouvé-style industrial pieces and other mid-century modern and industrial design.
