Meubelontwerpen c. 1905 - 1910

This is a technical drawing, "Meubelontwerpen," created by Dutch designer Carel Adolph Lion Cachet between 1905 and 1910. This preliminary design sketch for furniture is an example of the process of art and design. The simple pencil lines and handwritten notes in Dutch reflect the working nature of the piece. This kind of drawing would have been a crucial step in bringing the design to life. The drawing, currently held in the Rijksmuseum, gives us a glimpse into the creative mind of a prominent Dutch designer of the early 20th century.
