Early design bench (1964, Netherlands) by Jan de Jong, the Dutch Bossche School architect and protegé of the Dutch Benedictine monk and architect Dom Hans van de Laan. The bench was made for and used in the Vincentius a Paulo church in Eindhoven; an important early example of Bossche School architecture by De Jong.
The installation of the furniture for the church was made under the supervision of Dom Hans van der Laan. Essentially it was through these early Jan de Jong projects that Dom Hans vd Laan was able to witness the realisation of his complex design ideas and beliefs for what was possibly one of the first times.
