Originally conceived as part of the interior of the Post Building or 'PTT building' in Ostend (1947-1953), Eysselinck's first major public commission and widely regarded as one of the key works of post-war architecture in Belgium. For Eysselinck, furniture was always an integral part of his architectural vision. His building permit drawings therefore consistently included perfectly detailed furniture designs.
The piece remains in beautiful condition. A rare and authentic object that perfectly illustrates Eysselinck's modernist approach and the close relationship between architecture and design in the 1940s.
This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
