Kho, Liang le
Kho Liang Ie is one of the most prominent industrial designers the Netherlands has ever known. From the 1950s until his untimely death in 1975, he played a key role in fostering collaboration between industry and designers. This was not only due to his designs for new models, but especially through his influence on the (design) policies of various Dutch industries. Kho Liang Ie’s design was invaluable, particularly for the furniture manufacturers Artifort in Maastricht and CAR in Katwijk. His international recognition as a designer led to the commission in 1962 to design the interior of Schiphol Airport, in the design of which he involved Dutch industry as much as possible.
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.
