1x6 Coat Hook
Year 1995 Designer Dick van Hoff Colours White, Grey, Black Dick van Hoff wants to show in a direct manner the nature of the product. The parts precisely portray what they are meant for. This results in a literal imagination of the coat-hook that set up in a series, forms a coat rack. Due to the combination of design, material and production method (laser cut steel) there is hardly any waste in production and the product is 100% recyclable.

Leaves
Year 2008 Designer Richard Hutten Collection Design Museum Gent Colours Green, Red
It can hardly get much simpler than this: a plastic leaf with a strong magnet in the stem. Throw it against anything made of steel or metal and the space or object transforms into a green canopy. Not only nice to look at, it also improves the acoustics in the space.
Gispen has taken Richard Hutten’s design into production with the strong conviction that the magnetic leaves can make life a whole lot more fun. Sold in a box of 45 pcs. in two sizes and variable shades of green and one red.

When Richard Hutten was asked to furnish a room 25 metres in height as a nursery, he took his inspiration from the objects he came across in the bedroom of his own two sons. In the midst of all their toys, he found a small white toy elephant, which fascinated him. He liked it so much that he set to work immediately. Hutten magnified it and assigned it the simultaneous function of lamp and stool. If you ask Hutten what the strength of this design is, he will reply: ‘It will cheer you up.’

Year 2012 Designer Richard Hutten

The shape of the Slingerlamp evokes the sensation of a party and adds on the joy of the dinner, either at home or in a restaurant. The Slingerlamp is made in Holland at our own factory using the latest in laser cut technologies. The lamp comes in a variety of colours. In a time of increasing energy costs the aim was to create a lamp which doesn’t block the light of the bulb but at the same time creates a lot of atmosphere through its fluid and playful yet sophisticated form.

Rays from the sun keep our planet alive and rays from our little lamp give a little happiness to us all. The template looks like a kids drawing of a sun, and by laser-cutting it from
a thin sheet of metal. It comes in a selection of colours and is powered with LED so you can easily use a collection of them in an installation. Here comes the sun!

Zuiderzee Chair
Year 2011 Designer Richard Hutten Colours Black, White, Natural Beech The Zuiderzee museum asked Richard Hutten to design a chair especially for them. Hutten thought that a chair made of sticks was the most common chair used in the 18th and 19th century. He designed a contemporary version, which is far more comfortable than the original and which also weighs much less. A familiar yet surprising chair.

Stubborn Chair
Year 2010 Designer Studio Makkink & Bey Two stackable chairs placed slightly off centered are melted together. It is impossible to place these chairs in straight, neat rows. “One never sits on a chair the way it is meant to be used: you sit on it like this, or you could sit on it like this,” Bey says shifting in his chair. “In the end you’ll have a chair that is never right, and that is always right - a very stubborn chair.” Stubborn Chair is available in 3 versions, rough, smooth and upholstered.

With the ‘Amateur Masters’ series, Jerszy Seymour assumes classic modernist forms but subverts the modernist technocratic meaning by the hand moulded production technique from polycaprolactone wax to produce objects which confront their predecessors as well as acknowledging history. By not challenging form, Jerszy Seymour means to underline the point that objects support systems and that it is the systems we must challenge and design. Polycaprolactone wax is strong and 100% biodegradable.

More or Less Chair
Year 2011 Designer Maarten Baas Colour Black

For more information:
The ´More or Less Chair´ is a unique chair that is made in serial production. Maarten Baas made almost fifty fast linedrawings from his design. With a CNC milling cutter his drawings are converted in 3-D models which
makes each chair different. The chairs still appear as a quick drawing and each chair gets its own character this way. Sold by 4, 6 or 8 pieces.
Mondial Chair Year 1958 Designer Gerrit Rietveld Collection MoMa New York Colours White, Grey, Antracite, Yellow, Red, Blue Gerrit Rietveld designed the Mondial chair specifically for the World Exhibition held in Brussels in 1958. The Mondial was Rietveld’s ‘chair for the world’. The Mondial is both a minimalist and innovative design, created by one of the most prominent furniture designers of the 20th century. Gispen has launched a special reissue of Rietveld’s aluminum chair, in cooperation with Rietveld by Rietveld. 59 cm

Icon 3
Year 2010 Designer Jan Plechac The Icon 03 stands somewhere between interior or exterior furniture. It brings the old iconic form back to life putting it into new context. The final form of the object, thanks to its delicate hand-soldered structure from steel poles, floats in space like a thought between the fantasy and the reality. Although the structure seems very fragile it is absolutely functional and surprisingly durable even for installing the furniture in public places. As a result people can enjoy the Beauty of Solitaire not only at home but also outside, for example in gardens.

Blaster Chair Year 2011 Designer James Irvine In the words of James Irvine: Gispen is a company which seems to want to enjoy itself. If I think about furniture to enjoy I think about those wonderful time wasting moments in life. Those moments when you want to do nothing. Maybe just spin around and let time drift by. Maybe wait for someone to come up and say hello. So I thought of a cone sitting on another cone and where the two cones meet they rotate. Then I realised it looked a bit like the nozzle of a rocket engine so I gave the chair the name ‘Blaster’.

Gispen 101/201
Year 1934 Designer W.H. Gispen
Year 1931 Designer W.H. Gispen Collection Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam
The Gispen 412 is the best-known armchair in the Gispen collection. Its design dates from 1934 and is still in production. Gispen 412 is a sprung-steel armchair without back legs (cantilever), but with an extraordinary comfort. Two piece frame of hand shaped chrome steel tubing. Fixed covering and characteristic bakelite armrests with up-turned ends. This armchair’s timeless design and great comfort make it very popular for domestic use.
In 1931 W.H. Gispen introduced his first two sprung-steel chairs without back legs. The model was initially numbered the Gispen 20, before being renamed the Gispen 101/201 two years later. The tubular steel frame is shaped to follow the curved line of the seat, giving the chair its very distinctive character.

Triennial Chair
Year 2003 Designer Anke Bernotat
84 cm
The German designer and university professor, Anke Bernotat, originally developed the Triennial chair together with Gispen for a theatre in Bochum, in 2003. The result was a functional, stackable chair which still offers the necessary comfort. The question ‘what exactly is comfort?’ produced new ideas and ultimately the innovative design of the Triennial chair. Anke Bernotat talks about design, innovation and the value of daily objects.

Berlage Chair & Stool
Year 2004 Designer Richard Hutten Collection Victoria & Albert Museum, London Webbing Black, Green, Brown, colours White, Blue, Silver Combination Oak/Silver Black/Black White/Silver
46 cm
84 cm
Before commencing work on this Chair, Hutten searched the entire Berlage collection for a model suitable to serve as a starting point for his design. Berlage’s chair for the Van Hengel family emerged as the best choice, a chair in which the line of the back extends through into the back legs.
58 cm

42 cm
For the upholstery, Hutten drew his inspiration from the webbing used to attach the upholstery to the underside of the seat in the original design. He focused on the apparently random way in which the webbing is attached to the frame and exaggerated this in his own design.
Histograms Chair & Desk
Year 2008 Designer Fabio Novembre
In statistics, a histogram is a graphical display of tabulated data. Fabio Novembre was trying to convert this into an abstraction of comfort, shaping diagrams under human data. The word histogram is derived from Greek: histos ‘anything set upright’ (as the masts of
a ship, the bar of a loom, or the vertical bars of a histogram); gramma ‘drawing, record, writing’. Fabio Novembre used histograms as a tool to design an alternative domestic landscape.

Richard Hutten designed a stool whose seat looks hard, but is actually very soft. In his search for new upholstery, he found this new material, making it possible to make sharp corners from soft material. Much copied, but “you can never beat the original.”

In the words of Michael Young: The ´TST Sofa´ is quite personal and was designed for Richard Hutten an old friend and collaborator of many years now. Its hard at times to say how this was inspired as in many ways it was ´felt´, it is a product of
collective thought and absorption of how I feel about objectivity in the Netherlands, it’s got function, but it’s not art- I wanted to give my abstract a questioning, a commercial expressive object with good ergonomics.
SteelTop
Year 2012 Designer Peter de Boer Colours White, Grey, Antracite, Khaki Gispen SteelTop is a tabletop constructed as a box of thin plate steel, with an integrated strong frame.

The Gispen WV-01 is an intelligent and functional design. The table top is pleasing to touch, locked into a frame of plated steel which tapers upward to the edges. The steel legs are placed to reveal the open side at first glance, resulting in a spacious and open image. The slanted lines of the legs contribute to a sense of unity with the Mondial Chairs.
