INTERIOR OF THE HENRY VAN DE VELDEJens Thiis, who was the Museum's Director from 1895, was a radical Museum man and made sure to build up a collection of contemporary arts and crafts from the turn of the century. His special interest in Art Nouveau-direction, is the reason why the Museum has a separate room, an Office designed by the Belgian architect Henry van de Velde in 1908. Henry van de Velde (1863-1957) was an innovator who broke completely with the old style forms, and in the Office of the Interior is more of his furniture icons. The desktop is a good example of how he used the curvy lines to soften its furnishings masculine character. The room is emerging today, after a restoration with the starting point in the van they Might the original drawings, as a Gesamtkunstwerk, a total work of art entirely in the designer's spirit.
