Bureau voor mevrouw L.H. van Groningen-Koningsveld
Inspired by Gerrit Rietveld’s slatted furniture, architect Piet Elling fashioned this desk for his neighbour in Laren. Elling had been one of the first buyers of Rietveld’s modern furniture. With its ridigly straight lines and planes, the desk looks like a miniature building. Using red and black surfaces, painter Bart van der Leck created a balanced spatial colour composition.
