Janine Abraham and Dirk Jan Rol

Janine Abraham and Dirk Jan Rol
French artist Janine Abraham (1929-2005) met Dutch-born Dirk Jan Rol (1929-) at the studio of Jacques Dumond in 1955, and they immediately "clicked," both personally and professionally.

By 1956 they had showed their collaborative work, and in 1957 they opened their own firm. Rol provided the structural and architectural know-how, while Abraham contributed imagination.

They realized the importance of mass produced modern furniture, but they were not willing to sacrifice solid workmanship. Their beautiful pieces incorporate a strong sense of line and space with a characteristic elegance.

Rol's later career placed more focus on architecture which integrated interior space and nature.
