A rare long bench designed by Dom Hans van der Laan and executed by Jan de Jong for the Sint-Willibroduskerk in Almelo.
The architect Jan de Jong, who worked closely with Dom Hans van der Laan, was responsible for the design of the church and its interior. They created a remarkable body of work, which is very decisive for what is now called the Bossche School style.
The artist Wim van Hoof was responsible for the entire color scheme of the church and interior (including this bench).
The bench was purchased after the demolition of the church in 2005 and is in very nice original condition.
It has slight surface wear and signs of age and use as would be expected.
