Jan Eisenlöffel (1876 Amsterdam 1957)
Jugendstil Mokka Bean Grinder.
Designed in Germany, ca. 1908.
Impressed with German Patent Number: DP 839073
Biography:
After studying at the Rijksnormaalschool from 1892 to 1896 Eisenloffel joined the silversmiths Hoeker & Son, Amsterdam, designing mainly works in revivalist styles. Following eight months in St Petersburg, where he learnt enamelling and niello techniques, Eisenloffel developed his own style. In 1900 he became artistic director of the newly installed metal workshop at the Amstelhoek factory, working in his new style for the first time. The Amstelhoek factory was founded in 1897 by W.C. Hoeker (of Hoeker & Son), initially as a ceramic factory, the metalwork and furniture departments being later additions. Hoeker wished to produce modern designs in non-precious metals such as copper and brass; the production of silver at Amstelhoek was always associated with his family's firm. The factory name was derived from the telegraphic address: Amsterdam-Hoeker.
In September 1900, on the initiative of the architect H.P. Berlage and the designer Jacob P. van den Bosch, a new design gallery, het Binnenhuis, opened in Amsterdam as a retail outlet for the applied arts, with Eisenloffel among the collaborators. Eisenloffel's metalwork enjoyed wide distribution through Amstelhoek displays at het Binnenhuis, but in January 1902, he left Amstelhoek and het Binnenhuis to run his own workshop, designing copper and brass objects for machine production. In 1903 he founded a rival interior design firm, De Woning, together with W. Penaat, who had directed the furniture department at Amstelhoek. In 1908 Eisenloeffel's social idealism led him to work for the "United Workshops for Art in Craft" in Munich, because he believed that the artistic climate in Germany was more favorable for designers. In the early 1930s, Eisenloeffel was a board member of the Association for Craft and Handicraft.
