Willem Gispen: An important Dutch modernist designer

Willem Gispen, a trailblazer in his double role as designer and manufacturer, decided to go for tubular steel and serial production and, in so doing, he chose to forgo aesthetic pretensions in his industrial creations. A well-known activist in the artistic and business circles of his time, Gispen was one of the individuals responsible for promoting the social values of the arts and crafts movement. The incorporation of his designs into the Dutch Originals replica catalogue is proof of the validity of his work.

Willem Gispen: un diseñador neerlandés moderno

Willem Gispen fue un pionero en su doble faceta de diseñador y fabricante. Apostó por el acero tubular, por la producción en serie y por el rechazo de las pretensiones estéticas en la creación industrial. Activista reconocido en los círculos artísticos y empresariales neerlandeses de su tiempo, Gispen fue un firme impulsor de los valores sociales de las artes y los oficios. La vigencia de sus piezas la evidencia su inclusión en el catálogo de réplicas de la firma Dutch Originals.
