Braakman en ik

In a series of reflections, Maria Barnas looks into the life and work of Cees Braakman (1917-1995). From 1945 to 1978 Braakman was head of the design team of the Dutch furniture factory UMS Pastoe and shaped the post-war need for innovation. "Braakman en ik" is the first part of the Van Eyck "Spiegelreeks". The Spiegelreeks is a series of essays about fine art, design and literature. The starting point is the personal approach of the subject by the author, giving rise to new connections and insights.
