He designed many beautiful pieces with the “U+N series”, better known as the “Japanese Series”, as his most famous. In the 1940s, Braakman was sent to the United States to observe design and production processes of furniture. Inspired by the works of Charles and Ray Eames, he started working with new materials like ply-wood and steel, which were used in many of his designs. Many items of his hand are now well known Dutch design classics, such as his DU03 sideboard, TU11 dining table, SB02 dining chair, MM07 sofa, TB16 coffee table, EB02 desk, FM06 lounge chair and CU06 high board.
