Notes

Enclosed you will find a presentation photo of an interior designed by Piet Kramer for the World Exhibition in Paris 1925 (L'Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs & Industriels Modernes), on which a similar hearth bench is depicted. The interior itself was probably never actually in Paris, as there was no more room available in the Dutch stand. Instead images of the interior were shown. Kramer received a Grand Prix for this entry in the category 'Interior & Furniture Art'.
