PIET ZWART (1885-1977) BRUYNZEEL BRENOLINE. Tin container. Circa 1948. 8 3/4x5 inches, 22 1/4x12 3/4 cm. Condition A-: minor wear and abrasions at edges; rusting in bottom corner. The Dutch were pioneers in global design, more so than other countries, when it came to packaging. Unlike in France, in Holland, Cassandre's poster for Philips Radio was turned into a package for the product (see Swann sale 2113 Lot 137). This design by Zwart, for a tin of wood and furniture cleaner, is another excellent example of Dutch product marketing.
