Modernist Desk by Frits Spanjaard, Wouda Inspired, Netherlands, 1930s
By Frits Spanjaard, Hendrik Wouda
Located in Antwerp, BE
Modernist Desk; Frits Spanjaard; The Netherlands; Holland; circa 1930; Hendirk Wouda; Pander; Haagse School; The Hague School; Writing Desk; Wood; Geometric Composition;
Frits Spanjaard, influenced by Hendrik Wouda, designed balanced and simple pieces of furniture. His unique abstract style and refined use of composition, set him apart from other rationalist designers from The Hague School. The use of primary colours is a direct reference to De Stijl. Throughout his career Spanjaard, played with the application of colour, searching for contrast and dialogue between shapes. This table, together with the matching chair, are a fine example of this design attitude.
It was part of the Exhibition "De Klare Lijn" curated by Boris Devis...

Frits Spanjaard Important Asymmetrical Desk in Oak and Macassar Ebony, 1932
By Frits Spanjaard
Located in The Hague, NL
This unique architect's desk was designed by Frits Spanjaard in 1932. With its generous proportions, striking asymmetry, contrasting woods and the large knobs in solid Macassar ebony, the desk can be considered as an important example of the Haagse School (The Hague School) style.
The desk has four large drawers on the right, which can be simultaneously locked with a single key. The interior on the left features six drawers and additional storage, and can be locked altogether as well. Particularly noteworthy are the four cleverly incorporated pull-out shelves of different dimensions creating additional space: two on the front, one on the right side and one large shelf on the back side. The desktop is executed in dark stained oak and features a dark grey leather insert.
in 1932, the prosperous Van Stolk & Reese company commissioned Spanjaard to design the interior and furniture of their offices located on the Ceintuurbaan in Rotterdam. This custom desk was most likely designed for the office of the company’s director, which was designed by Spanjaard in a radically modernist way, combining his own sumptuous designs with the functionalist tubular steel furniture made by W.H. Gispen.
Between 1925 and 1935 the work of Spanjaard was strongly connected to the Haagse School movement of which he’d become a main proponent. This style was not so much inspired by the Classic European Art Deco capitals such as Paris and Vienna but more by other national and international architectural developments such as the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. The influential magazine Wendingen published a series of articles on Wright still relatively unknown at the time in 1925 and the renowned architect Jan Wils also played an important role in the orientation towards Wrights work in The Netherlands.
In its particular application of geometric shapes, primary colours and its sophisticated cubist division of the surface, the Haagse School designers were also aware of De Stijl movement, lead by contemporaries such as Gerrit Rietveld and Piet Mondriaan. At the same time the geometry, the harmonious proportions and the understated decorations were primarily based on the rationalist design principles of H.P. Berlage, who would later become one of Spanjaard’s clients himself. Design had to meet the functional demands of the user but purely utilitarian ideas were certainly not the most important. Due to his frequent travels to Germany, Spanjaard was also familiar with the designs of Marcel Breuer and Mies van der Rohe, especially appreciating the simplicity and purity of their designs.
