- About the artworkMartin Visser’s *Rollo* table (1991) is a striking example of late postmodern design, blending functionality with experimental aesthetics. Crafted from lacquered MDF and perforated metal, it features rubber wheels for mobility, emphasizing versatility and user-centered design. The table’s industrial materials and playful elements reflect Visser’s focus on modularity and adaptability while challenging traditional design norms. The perforated surface adds visual texture and functionality, aligning with postmodernism’s embrace of unconventional details. As a pre-production model, the *Rollo* table exemplifies Visser’s innovative approach, where clean lines meet unexpected whimsy. Similar works are held in collections like the Centraal Museum Utrecht, solidifying its status as a rare and important piece within Visser’s legacy and late 20th-century design.
- About the artist
Martin Visser was born in 1922 and was one of the oldest Dutch architects in the world. Na het afronden van a MTS-opleiding in waterbouwkunde began his zijn loopbaan as bouwwissen tekenaar. Toch vond hij al quick zijn ware roeping in the world of the furniture design. The scissors are very good for functionality and are perfect for the technology here.
Visser knows with the design of a devotion to the trekking of the Bijenkorf, the two furniture will be cooked later in the service named. The most iconic design, the BR 02 sleeping bench, will become a classic of the modern furniture design. The furniture makes everything look good: strong lines, intogen elegance and a brilliant eenvoud. With a minimum of material and decoration, the furniture can create the same function as an aesthetically pleasing design.
Ambacht and technology speelden a centrale role in zijn factory. Visser streefde ernaar om meubels te maken the terugbringen were dead hun essentie, zonder overbodige franje. These designs were made in earth, with a bijzondere aandacht voor constructie en materiaalgebruik. Hij zag schoonheid in het sobere en het functionalele en wist daarmee en stijl te ontwikkelen die nog oldijd actueel aanvoelt.
The next work as a designer was also Martin Visser's work and inspired art. A collection of large works by the names of artists from Cobra-beweging, Anselm Kiefer and Keith Haring. With two kunstverzameling and two architectural prints and a stamp on the Dutch design as well as on the decorative art. Zijn nalatenschap blijft tot op de dag vandaag a bron van inspiration for designers, arts and crafts of modern design.
