GASTON EYSSELINCK, Stool for the Ostend Post Office

Rare stool in solid oak designed by the Belgian architect Gaston Eysselinck. Originally conceived as part of the interior of the Post Building or 'PTT building' in Ostend (1947-1953), Eysselinck's first major public commission and widely regarded as one of the key works of post-war architecture in Belgium. For Eysselinck, furniture was always an integral part of his architectural vision. His building permit drawings therefore consistently included perfectly detailed furniture designs.

The piece remains in beautiful condition. A rare and authentic object that perfectly illustrates Eysselinck's modernist approach and the close relationship between architecture and design in the 1940s.

About Gaston Eysselinck

Gaston Eysselinck (1907–1953) was a Belgian modernist architect best known for his compact housing designs and his own house and studio in Ghent, a key work of the 'Nieuwe Bouwen' movement in Belgium.

Alongside his architecture, he designed a limited series of tubular steel furniture in the 1930s, produced under the name FRATSTA. These pieces, conceived as part of a total interior, are considered among the most refined examples of early modernist furniture in Belgium.
