Coffee table by louis van teeffelen. One of the most emblematic designers of so-called scandinavian design. Beautiful workmanship and finishes. Designer louis van teeffelen. Origin: netherlands. Period: 1960. Condition: very good vintage condition, some traces on the surface due to time. Louis van teeffelen (1921-1972) was a dutch designer best known for his furniture designs for the walraven furniture factory in bevers, later called wébé. In addition to other distribution chains such as v&d, morres and piet klerkx, the topform purchasing group is the largest buyer of wébé furniture. Louis designs exclusive furniture for this. The sales area is mainly the netherlands and belgium. It is said that louis also draws for simplalux and fristho. Evidence of this has not yet been found. The furniture designed by louis van teeffelen and manufactured by wébé in the 1950s and 1960s is of high quality. In addition to ergonomic perfection, there is also a high degree of refined craftsmanship. From the late 1950s, louis' creations were inspired by scandinavian aesthetics. Louis develops a style of his own; his "hand" is undeniably recognizable. His creations are organic in nature with sculptural elements, have phenomenal seating comfort and are very practical. An example is the 'wing' chaise longue and the modular wall system. The coffee tables with fine lines show that he also knows the aesthetics of japan. Among its sculptural elements, the "smiling face" handles are the most typical. It designs an endless range of dining rooms, wardrobes, tv tables, desks, sofas (sofas), armchairs and bedrooms.
