Jon Jansen was a furniture business established in Auckland in 1951 by Lincoln Laidlaw, previously a toy manufacturer. The company imported products but also manufactured it's own lines, which were developed by Dutch designers, Edzer Duije (Bob) Roukema and his assistant Jan Knoll. As well, Bob Roukema developed his own style that were compatible with designs by top mid-century designer. The store was a success and became a three story emporium, as well as opening an additional three satellite stores. The store closed in the early 1960s due to the imposition of import controls, the departure of the two Dutch designers and increased competition.
