About Mondrian 

Piet Mondrian (1872 – 1944) was a Dutch painter, art theorist and a pioneer of the abstract and non-figurative art. Especially his later geometric-abstract work, with the distinctive horizontal and vertical black lines and primary colours is world famous and serves as inspiration for many architects and designers of applied art. Mondrian Works can be found in The Hague City Museum (over 300 including the unfinished Victory Boogie Woogie), Kröller Müller Museum – and in the US: Museum of Modern Art New York, National Gallery of Art Washington.

From Mondrian to Dutch Design: 100 years De Stijl

In 2017 it was hundred years since art movement "De Stijl" was founded in Netherlands with the launch of the magazine De Stijl by designer Theo van Doesbrug in Leiden. Piet Mondrian was one of the designers and architects of this art movement who wanted to introduce a whole new art form that would have a great influence and bring about innovation in society. And with success. Even today Dutch designers like Hella Jongerius, Maarten Baas, Joris Laarman and Piet Hein Eek are inspired by De Stijl and its designers.
