Gispen was a member of the "Opbouw" group and maintained good relations with modern architects in Rotterdam, which led to numerous projects, such as furnishing the Van Nelle factory and the Bergpolderflat building with Gispen's tubular steel furniture. with a few exceptions, Gispen's designs were not particularly original, but they were of good quality. After World War II, he left the company and founded a new one, "Kembo." Bed. : J. van Geest, O. Mácel, p. 80-81, 152; A.
