Salontafel 1876 - 1924

"Salontafel" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof, created between 1876 and 1924. The sketch depicts a simple design for a coffee table with intricate geometric patterns. The work is housed at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. This minimalist design, with its emphasis on form and line, reflects the growing interest in functional and decorative elements in Dutch design during this period. Dijsselhof's sketch is an excellent example of preliminary design work, highlighting the evolution of a design concept through simple lines and forms.
