Chalice, Paten, and Little Spoon
Hans van der Laan studied architecture in Delft before becoming a monk. During the course on church architecture that he taught to architects, Van der Laan developed a theory of numerical ratios and spatial proportions that recurs in all of his designs. He designed this communion cup and paten (plate for the consecrated wafers) and little spoon at the beginning of his career, when his theory of numerical relationships was still in its infancy.
