About the Item

Ruud Jan Kokke elm wooden slat bench or coffeetable, very rare, 100x40x40 cm Designed by Ruud-Jan Kokke, one of the most bespoken Dutch designers since the 1980s. Kokke is a Dutch designer known for his precise, functional furniture that blends modernist clarity with traditional craftsmanship. Emerging in the 1980s, he gained recognition for pieces like the Kokke chair, which exemplifies structural elegance and ergonomic innovation. His work often appears in public institutions—libraries, schools, and museums—where clarity, durability, and visual harmony are essential. Kokke’s designs reflect the Dutch design ethos: minimalist, concept-driven, and rooted in practical use. He holds a significant place in contemporary Dutch design for bridging artisan techniques with architectural form. This table by Ruud-Jan Kokke exemplifies refined minimalism and precise craftsmanship. Constructed from warm-toned wood, its rectilinear form features a layered, framed edge that adds architectural depth. The vertical grooves on the side panels introduce rhythm and texture, breaking the solidity of the legs while enhancing visual interest. Inset leg panels create a floating effect, reducing visual weight and emphasizing lightness. With no visible hardware or decorative elements, the design relies on proportions, joinery, and material honesty. It reflects Kokke’s functionalist approach, where clarity, balance, and durability guide every decision. Ideal for institutional or domestic use, the table merges sculptural presence with everyday utility—an elegant example of Dutch modern design that values structure as both form and function.
