Willem Hendrik Gispen (1890 - 1981)
Dutch industrial designer, famous for Giso lamps and mass-produced functionalist steel tube furniture. In 1916 he bought a small smithy, from which he built the famous Gispen factory for metal production. Many mass-produced designs, such as the No. 412 armchair, are still among the highlights of Dutch design.
