Ruud-Jan Kokke 1st edition "latjes" dining set in solid wood, 1986

A very early 'Latjes' dining set, designed by Ruud Jan Kokke in 1986. We acquired the set from a architects studio who bought it directly from Ruud Jan kokke in the late 80ties for their headquarters. The set consists of 4 'Latjes' dining chairs and a 'Latjes' dining table. The chairs have a solid oak wood frame and the slats are made of tough and flexible ash wood. The table has also a solid oak frame and an oak veneer top with an amazing inlay of oak slats. Later versions of the table did not have this inlay of slats anymore. The stylish curved slats in between the frame were necessary to give the slim body some more strength. This amazing set is elegant, sophisticated and minimalist at the same time. A true master piece. The highly acclaimed 'Latjes' chair is included in the collection of various museums including the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and the MoMa in New York. The set is in good original condition with a lovely patina. The chairs are sturdy and perfect. The table top has a little signs of wear, as visible in the pictures. The dimensions of the chair are: w: 0,41 ; d: 0,49 ; h: 0,83 ; seat h: 0,47. Of the table: 140 x 82 x height 75 cm.
