The Belgian designer and architect Willy Van der Meeren (1923 – 2002) has always attached importance to artistic creations which are intended for the greatest number. He has combined with talent a modern approach and a great simplicity in the choice of its materials. With his artistic achievements, he is at the top of the Belgian designers of the 20th century.

Nice! I have the same RTT standard phone but without the black paint. You could find the reference in a Gründ book objets design: les téléphones by Paul Clark. Greetings from France/Champagne
