Perfect and deep lines make this Set a 💎 Gem ; investment in timeless style and enduring quality, right for collectors and enthusiasts of exceptional craftsmanship.
Hand crafted in 1950’s , made of solid Afromosia (African teak) designed by Jan Kuypers for Imperial Furniture of Stratford, Ontario.
This high quality dresser Set offers lots of storage and features beautiful ovoid sculpted handles, tapered legs, and a flared and curved profile.
Jan Kuypers (1925 – 1997) studied at the Academy of Arts and Architecture in The Hague.
Once joining Imperial Furniture, “Kuypers transformed the company. His designs, all executed in birch, introduced a precise, efficient minimalism previously absent from Canadian furniture and manufacturing.”
Between 1953 and 1955 Kuypers won twenty-five National Industrial Design Council awards. His designs for Imperial Furniture were displayed at the first government-sponsored Design Centre in Ottawa (1953) and in the Canadian pavilion at the 1954 Milan Triennale. His Nipigon armchair of 1956 was featured in the Canadian pavilion at the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair. Kuypers left Imperial Furniture, and Stratford, in 1958 to study industrial design at MIT before forming his own firm industrial design firm, DKR, in Toronto.
