About the Item
Coen de Vries has to be considered as a leading figure and Pioneer of Dutch Modernism after World War II.
With his own company Devo the Hague and his close involvement in the 'Goed Wonen' program (a monthly magazine to stimulate modernism in the Dutch living rooms) he introduced simple modern functional furniture to the Dutch interiors.
This conversation or sleeping sofa is one of his designs, it can easily be transformed into a bed and is ideal for in a guest room or house.
A sofa from the our Dutch Design collection was exhibited in the 'From the Guggenheim collection to the Cobra Museum Amstelveen' that was held earlier this year.
Currently it is still in use for their running exhibition on Asger Jorn till January 2015 (see photo's from Cobra Museum).
This example has been re-upholstered in a top quality van der Ploeg fabric in two tones.
When as a daybed it measures 88.25 x 31.75 x 18/26.125.

Orange block element 27.55inch/70cm x 27.55inch/70cm x Height 27.55inch/70cm
I taken this text from Serge Haelterman's website:
Right after I graduated as an Industrial designer back in 1999 I started a furniture brand together with my friend Steven Brouns. We felt there was a need for a new type of furniture that was able to adjust itself to the ever changing life situations. Hence the name Livingelements. The name JZUZ was conceived because we believed we had to spread the message of this new kind of living. The first elements were a u and a square shaped seating element. They were in fact a deconstruction of a regular sofa. This deconstruction led to a whole range of new possibilities. When combining both elements you could construct all kinds of different 'living' setups. After this followed the room devider...

Rare 5 Seating Elements + Corner Table by Otto Zapf, 1967, Germany, New Fabric!
By Otto Zapf
Located in bergen op zoom, NL
Here we have a very rare opportunity, a large set of five Otto Zapf 1967 'sofalette' modular seating elements and a very rare 'Sofalette' corner table in fibreglass
Newly upholstered in 100% cotton Canvas by Romo and comes complete with the original and usually missing loose cushions.
The high quality thick fibreglass bases are all in good vintage condition produced by the Zapf workshop around circa 1970
The 'sofalette' system is completely modular in that you can rearrange the 5 seating elements and corner table piece into any possible configuration and combination but also to a pair of lounge chairs and a 3 seat sofa
The super elegant and minimal sculptural form is fully complemented by the new Canvas fabric, a sculptural form presents itself
Otto Zapf began his design career by joining the iconic Braun company in 1955 where he met colleague Dieter Rams, in 1957 they formed their own design firm, 'RZ-furniture Vertriebs GmbH', where they developed the concept to design modular furniture that could be expanded as desired and that you could install yourself and that would be easy to transport, a concept you can see take form with the sofalette series and Ram's later iconic Vitsoe 606...

Seating as Minimalist Sculpture, 4 Elements by Uredat, 1969, Mohair Upholstery
By Klaus Uredat, COR
Located in bergen op zoom, NL
Amazing, museum quality, modular 'CORBI' seating set, composed of four elements, designed by Klaus Uredat for 'COR', Germany, 1969 complete with the original purchase invoice dated 1972.
After receiving many requests to do so, we have carefully unpicked and removed the original custom order pop art upholstery and have now recovered the set in a more neutral, high quality mohair upholstery.
A rare, beautiful and highly sculptural pure elemental design, the large dimensions of each .Corbi' seating element allow for them to be used equally as either individual lounge chairs or as a modular sofa. This particular set is a must for serious collectors, this set comes complete with the original German purchase invoice from 1972, which also confirms the additional expense of the custom order upholstery, we have carefully unpicked and kept the original upholstery fabric should the buyer wish to retain it for provenance (please see photos 14 and 15 which illustrate the set with it's original upholstery).
The sculptural 'Corbi' modular lounge chair was designed in 1969 and only remained in limited scale production for a few years up to circa 1974. Today this super elegant design is both very popular and now extremely difficult to find due to the passage of time and the limited total production numbers so a large set of elements such as this, is really a rare opportunity.
Each 'Corbi' element is composed of two independent Minimalist sculptural forms, one base element and one cylindrical seat back. With the base elements positioned end to end, day beds may...
