Designed by Gijs Bakker in the early 1970s for Dutch manufacturer Castelijn, the “Strip” dining set is an iconic expression of radical minimalism and postmodern sculptural form. Comprising a dining table and four matching chairs, the set is made entirely of dark-stained, laminated slats of wood — a construction technique that both names and defines the collection.
The chairs feature a continuous ribbon-like silhouette with curved backs and legs, cut and bent from stacked wooden strips, offering a surprisingly ergonomic and visually unified profile. The rectangular table echoes this sculptural logic, with its signature leg cut-outs and slab-like proportions anchoring the composition.
The set is in good vintage condition, with some visible traces of wear including surface scratches, slight fading, and tonal variation in the wood — all consistent with age and use. Structurally sound and fully functional, it retains its bold visual presence and remains a collectible example of Bakker’s early work.
Perfect for sculptural modernist interiors, creative dining areas, or as a standout postmodern collectible in a design-conscious environment.
