Early design bench by Jan de Jong, the Dutch Bossche School architect and protegé of the Dutch monk and architect Dom Hans van de Laan. Jan de Jong is known for having realised his mentor’s complex ideas.
The bench was made for and used in the Vincentius a Paulo church in Eindhoven, an important early example of Bossche School architecture by De Jong. (we have a photograph of the bench in use)
The installation of the furniture for the church was made under the supervision of Dom Hans van der Laan. Essentially it was through these early Jan de Jong projects that Dom Hans van der Laan was able to witness the realisation of his complex design ideas and beliefs for what was possibly one of the first times.Good condition.
