Robert van 't Hoff
Dutch architect (5 November 1887 - 25 April 1979)
Robert van 't Hoff (5 November 1887 – 25 April 1979), born Robbert van' t Hoff, Dutch architect and furniture designer.
His Villa Henny, designed in 1914, was one of the first modernist houses and one of the first to be built in reinforced concrete. From 1917 he was an influential member of the De Stijl movement.
Although he was born into a middle-class family background, married a wealthy heiress, and was for a time able to subsidize the publication of De Stijl's journal, van 't Hoff was a member of the Communist Party of the Netherlands in the years following World War I. After the failure of Pieter Jelles Troelstra's call for a socialist revolution in the Netherlands in 1919, van Hoff separated from De Stijl's founder, Theo van Doesburg, and retired from artistic activity as an "ex-architect" in 1922, spending much of the rest of his life promoting experimental anarchist communities.
