Partnerbureau met ladekast
After the Second World War, the young architect Bakema worked at the Rotterdamse Dienst Volkshuisvesting on reconstructing the bombed city. He designed this desk and set of drawers for the site office of the Zuidwijk urban expansion project. He derived the construction of horizontal and vertical elements and the primary colours in the drawers from the radical pictorial idiom of the avant-garde movement De Stijl.
