Two ivory Sori Yanagi Elephant stools by Kotobuki, Japan c. 1950s.
Molded impressed mark of Sori Yangi and Kotobuki on underside of larger stool, original stickers on underside of smaller stool, as was always the case with each of the different sizes.
Originally designed by Yanagi as a work chair for his studio, the stool was released by Kotobuki a couple of years later after the company developed the technology for producing glass-reinforced plastic (fiberglass). The design quickly became known as the Elephant Stool because the form evokes a stylized trunk when viewed head-on.
It’s common to find examples that have had holes drilled into them for drainage, given the stools were popular for use outdoors. These two examples are both completely untouched and in beautiful condition.
Kotobuki was the first ever manufacturer of these stools, they were later made by Habitat and are now made by Vitra but are quite different as they’re made in molded polypropylene plastic.
Sold separately.

Frederic Mares Deulovol (1893-1991) patinated bronze gazelle doe.
Base signed in the casting: F. Mares; with impressed foundry mark: Fundicion R. Vila / Valls (Tarragona).
Bronze base has been removed for photography and because we feel the doe stands more beautifully in a room without it, though it could be simply placed back on matching bronze base if desired.
This doe comes form a California estate where it was kept outdoors, partially covered. The resulting patina and verdigris is beautiful and reminiscent of a Pat Steir painting. The bronze is beautifully sculpted with incredible, life-like details, from the slight movement of the tail to the deep gaze of the eyes.

Jean Prouve 'Demountable' Wood Chair Model CB 22 c. 1950.
Designed in 1947 and manufactured by Atelier Jean Prouvé until the studio’s closure in 1953.
Solid wood, molded plywood, aluminum.
The CB 22 chair is historically significant in that it underscores Prouvé’s ability to adapt and innovate, using wood at a juncture when materials such as steel were in short supply.
It comprises two solid wood lateral bases held together by two braces bolted on the outside. The back and seat were initially fixed to the frame with screws, then with tapped studs, while the tubes protecting the braces are made of metal. The first “do-it-yourself” chair, it was shown disassembled on the cover of the Ateliers Jean Prouvé furniture catalogue in 1951.

Dom Hans van der Laan unique desk with copy of original drawings.
From a private doctor’s practice, Sint-Michielsgestel, the Netherlands c. 1970.
Spruce, copper nails, paint.
Color is 60.05.Y50R from van Der Laan’s highly selective color palette of eight shades, which he developed alongside Dutch artist, Wim van Hooff (1918 - 2002), one of the leading and most outspoken color consultants of the second half of the twentieth century.
The Doctor’s practice was designed in the Bossche School style by Vermeulen Architects in Veldhoven, the Netherlands. It is extremely rare, if not unique, to have a piece together with the original drawings. Materials and techniques are specified on the drawings: “First class selected spruce…Bone-dry processed - planed…Everything pre-stained…Connections cross pin and copper rivets”
*Matching stool available.
Dimensions: 45” width, 39.25” depth, 30” height.
About Dom Hans van der Laan (1904 - 1991):
Dutch Benedictine monk, architect, and leading figure of the Bossche School, Dom Hans van der Laan developed a new vision for architecture from within the confines of the monastery, completely uninfluenced by discussions in the world of architecture and design.
Not perceiving the golden ratio to be relevant to the field, van der Laan developed a theory of the ‘plastic number’, which he developed over decades by methodically studying the rhythms, rules and proportions found in nature. The mathematics of beauty.
Approached from a philosophical, theological and technological perspective, his architecture and furniture examines the primeval origin of architectural principles and the fundamental essence of the form. On both a theoretical and practical level, van der Laan sought to give significance and importance to simplicity. A voice to silence, a form to the void.
If van der Laan’s innovative work is characterized by an all embracing simplicity, numbers are the only decoration present. These numbers govern all formal choices and establish a relationship between the parts but, once used, disappear without a trace, leaving only the invisible harmony that permeates.

Dom Hans van der Laan unique oak high back bench.
Commissioned for Willibrordkerk (St Willibrord’s Church), Almelo.
The Netherlands c. 1960’s.
Van der Laan rarely used oak in his furniture. This unique piece is also without the copper nails typical of his work.
Willibrordkerk Almelo was designed by Jan de Jong according to the Plastic Number and the ideas of Dom Hans van der Laan.
Despite being one of the best examples of Dutch churches of the modernist era the church was knocked down in 2005 as part of a series of unfortunate closures. Two large friezes by Igor Strawinsky (1907 - 1989), son of composer, Igor Strawinsky, were preserved intact. A deep friendship had developed between Strawinsky and van der Laan, who highly valued sacred art.
Dimensions: 67” length, 25.25” depth, 44.25” height, 16” seat height
