Hello fellow DA-ers!
Found a unique 'coffeetable'. It's made of full, massive pieces rosewood, glued together and then sawn into this one circular piece.
I think it's rather wonderfull...
It was commisioned by an architect and made by dear friend of him, who did made-to-measure assignments for several architectural projects.
I went to the house and picked it up. The coffeetable was made to measure the huge living room, wich was also fitted with an custommade oak table, fitted with 8 wishbone-chairs (all original vintage).
The table is the size of a tractor-wheel.
I'm going back next tuesday, picking up some sixties lighting fixtures and fifties teak bedroom furniture.
I'm planning to take some photos, do I report back?
regards,
bj

I'm afraid I live in Flanders, Belgium, Jonnie.
Robert Dunlop indeed made some comparible tabletops, had a look on his website. Thank for bringing the name up.
Here in Belgium we had designer-interiordecorator who also made high-end furniture, out of exotic woods: Jules Wabbes.
I adore this work, so i'm quite happy with this find.
In your other post you showed pictures of your father, they reminded me a bit of Bram Bogart, also a painter from the lower countries.
lovely table, I tried to make...
lovely table, I tried to make similar a few years ago from shipping pallets but ran out of timber after cutting all the flaws out.
I've met Robert Dunlop, he is a friendly old guy and was in the remarkable position of exporting furniture to Denmark/Scandinavia in the 70's.
The house is in the same...
The house is in the same style. It's quite unique: built surface is 900 square meters. They worked seven years on it. I assume the architect had time to change his mind, because although the style is typical for pavilions in the mid-sixties, it leaves that idea here and there, resulting in strange architectural deformations.
The house has sold, stands in the neighbourhood of a large shop and I believe the owners of that specific mall bought the house, I hope they appreciate it's value...
