A’dammer is a distinctive example of furniture as design object. A’dammer's trademark is the ribbed roll-top door, which can slide up and disappear in the rear section of the cabinet. The ribs on this roll-top door provide a handle at any given height. The quirky image of the standing cabinet is further enhanced by the rounded top section. A’dammer is a design icon and one of the best-selling Dutch furniture pieces of all time.
Dutch designer, industrial designer and sculptor Aldo van den Nieuwelaar (1944-2010) studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Breda and then worked at various architectural firms in Amsterdam. He was inspired by the sober clarity of Rietveld and De Stijl, Bauhaus of the 1920s and minimalist art of the 1960s. In 1969 he started to work as an independent designer, experimenting with geometry.
The A’dammer cabinet system (pronounced ‘Amsterdammer’, named for the parking bollards used in Amsterdam) is a typical example of his minimalism. The cabinet is made from lacquered MDF. The shutter is made of molded plastic. The A'dammer series is available in various colors and sizes. If you prefer another colour than the ones offered here, please do not hesitate to contact us personally.
