Product description
Very rare fold-out dining table by Cor Alons for Dutch furniture factory Gouda den Boer, circa 1949. The table is made of beautifully shaped lacquered laminated wood and can comfortably seat six people.
The table is part of a dining area of which the 4 chairs (1 with signature!) are in another advertisement.

Extended length: 165 cm
Height: 75 cm

This plywood sofa owes its aesthetics mainly to its functionality and materials. Cor Alons chooses beech plywood because of the properties and possibilities of the material itself which is very sculptural. The decorative elements of this sofa follow from the feasibility of the plywood. For example, the wooden armrests have a straight, wing-like appearance. Also from the side, the wooden slats that hold the backrest gracefully experience a curved position. Whatever perspective you take on it, each angle provides a different visual excitement.
Cor Alons (1892-1967) was a Dutch designer who studies at the Minerva Academy in Groningen and the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. After working for H. Pander & Zn, Alons opened his own office together with Frits Spanjaard. Alons' designs usually fit within the Functionalism theme and he often opts for furniture with a clear structure, which is also reflected in this design.
See my other ads for more Cor Alons such as a sofa, lounge chair and the 4 chairs. All belong to the same set.
