Sliedregt, Dirk van
Dirk van Sliedregt (1920–2010) combined his work as a furniture designer with teaching at Dutch art academies, including the Enschede Academy and the Rietveld Academy. After 1945, he began experimenting with rattan and subsequently developed several chairs that quickly caught the attention of the Gebroeders Jonkers furniture factory in Noordwolde. Initially, they were made entirely of rattan, but from 1952 onward, they were often combined with a metal tubular frame. Van Sliedregt’s designs are striking in their apparent simplicity, but upon closer inspection, they are extremely complex.
BeBoB was founded with a focus on recycling and started as a foundation, not profit-based.
For almost 40 years, it has specialised in collecting and selling midcentury design, focussing on the right matches more than how to get the best profit.
BeBoB charges reasonable prices for vintage and collector’s items.
Vintage Prices are approximately 35% to 65% of the new-to-order price, if items are still new in production. If not anymore in production they become collectibles.
Collectibles are also the original pieces from the design period of the items, which are still in production and are more expensive, but often a good investment out of scarcity.
