Looks like it is Bas van Pelt.

The same logo appears on this wall mounted bar unit:
https://www.catawiki.com/nl/l/35383233-bas-van-pelt-living-bar-meubels-1

The Dutch Institute for Art History says "cooperated with Jan Piets sinds 1936. After the war and the death of Bas van Pelt, his wife JH van Pelt-Jansen continued the business, after 1953 in cooperation with Janni van Pelt and Drick Brouwers. In 1974 Janni van Pelt took over her role as board member [the corporate officer title doesn't translate and doesn't even make much sense in Dutch]"
https://rkd.nl/nl/explore/artists/62485
About the business:
"In honor of the anniversary and in homage to Bas van Pelt, the name of company was changed from "My Home Woninginrichting" to "Bas van Pelt Binnenhuisarchitectuur". His daughter Janni and son in law Dick Brouwers were company officers."
https://rkd.nl/nl/explore/artists/Pelt%20Binnenhuisarchitektuur%2C%20Bas%20van
Maybe the guys listed on the company page (Bodegom and Van den Berg) were the designers by that time, but this is a bit unclear.

Thanks for this. This is helpful. FWIW I ended up finding a few others on catawiki. It does look like they're real/legitimate but, per someone from the Netherlands I talked to, anything from after Bas' death is worth much less.

I'm working on product lines with 20+ week lead times on them, and sometimes I do have to wonder about the kind of people who are willing to overpay by 2-3x the value of what they're buying and still wait 5 months for it to arrive, just for a name brand. Not even for construction quality, it's not like we're talking pure hardwood furniture or something, it's just a name brand vs a slightly lesser name brand.
Not judging you with that, just reflecting on my own work as it relates to the thread.

I had to yell at La-Z-Boy to get a consoled love seat after waiting two weeks because they told me it was in stock at the store. Turns out they didn't and just wanted to make the sale. Luckily I also had a recliner about 4 weeks on order and threatened to cancel both if I didn't get my love seat by the end of the week which gave me immense leverage.

The NC house is awesome but I can't help but think it's not a climate-appropriate design. Blocky flat-roof glass-wall houses work well in California, not so much in a place with a winter and significant rainfall.

The poster said it has about 7-8 layers of paint on it and is crumbling, so she's going to look into historical restoration because it's one her favorite features in her house. In the comments, someone said they knew the previous owner and the mantle was installed in the 60s after the play Man of La Mancha came out.

I'm not a big MCM person, though I certainly like some pieces. I really like furniture with legs that are not wood or MDF, like perforated steel, which is definitely a later style. I also really dislike red, so common MCM furniture colors like teak and rosewood are just not for me.

that's cool about the background though, it just seems like an incredibly inflexible piece of furniture. It can't be repositioned without cutting into the ceiling again.
