AVL - SHAKER

By AVL Joep van Lieshout

Joep van Lieshout’s design for the AVL – Shaker furniture collection is a hommage to the famous predecessors from apartment sharing and cooperatives AVL-Ville.
In 19th century North America the so-called Shakers created an almost self-supporting form of life and work, in which contact with the outside world was scarce. Their furniture was quickly recognized as sublime, timeless designs that because of their soberness were ahead of what the 20th century was to call modernism. 


The solid wood AVL – Shaker Table is available in 3 standard lengths: 200, 300 and 400 cm. T
he tabletop is made out of solid, dyed, wooden pieces and this gives it a vargated look.

The AVL – Shaker Chair, with the characeristic seat that ‘slopes’ to the back, is made in the same way and is, therefore, easy to combine with different pieces of furniture in a variety of ways.
