A rare desk designed by Belgian architect Charles Vandenhove for the Lucien Brull University Residence in Liège in 1967. The piece is made in solid afzelia with a black linoleum top, and includes a suspended multiplex cabinet with two drawers and an open compartment for documents. As part of the same commission, Vandenhove also designed matching stools (not included) in multiplex, conceived to maintain unity throughout the interior. The design shows clear affinities with the work of Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret, both of whom Vandenhove encountered early in his career, and is marked by a quiet clarity and an honest use of materials.
Restored top, very good condition. A unique opportunity to acquire a piece by one of Belgium's most important modernist architects.
