Karel Petrus Cornelis de Bazel (1869-1923) is one of the most influential architects in The Netherlands at the start of the 20th century. His designs were based on geometrical and mathematical principles, creating a Gesammtkunstwerk: a well-balanced interior and exterior.
Between 1905 and 1913 De Bazel got more and more acknowledgement from his colleague-architects resulting in his appointment as the first chairman of the newly founded Bond van Nederlandse Architecten (BNA) in 1909. This obviously brought him important commissions from institutional and private sources.
The private houses he built around 1905-1913 can be considered as the best English style country houses of that time. Besides the dwellings De Maerle (1906) and Meentwijck (1912) De Bazel was commissioned in 1912 by the Jannink family to build the country house 't Stokhorst at Lonneker, near Enschede. The family decorated the interior of 't Stokhorst with furniture and a very large carpet designed by the architect. The furniture was executed by the firm of De Ploeg owned by De Bazel and founded in cooperation with K. van Leeuwen and C.A. Oorschot in 1904.
