Designer:	Hans van Bentem
Project type:	art & design
Product:	glazed earthenware

In celebration of the upcoming 400th anniversary of the family business, twelve artists were invited to design a ceramic work. The Table of Seduction was a real showstopper, in which Hans van Bentem began with existing forms and then lavishly decorated them with realistic coloured motifs and portraits of seductive couples. This ceramic table was snapped up by Het Princessehof, the National Ceramics Museum, in Leeuwarden and is now part of their collection.
