About Amsterdam School

The Amsterdam School movement emerged in the Netherlands in the 1910s–1940s, known for its expressive forms, solid craftsmanship, and sculptural approach to design. Furniture from this period often combines architectural strength with refined detailing, emphasizing honest materials and artisanal construction. This table is a fine example of that philosophy, where form and function are inseparable.

Amsterdam School architects designed a lot of exteriors and interiors in Amsterdam, but the style spreaded further all around the Netherlands. The Hague has its own variant, called The Hague School. See less
