Brutalist De Coene Cabinet in Stained Oak, Belgium, 1970s

Creator: Joseph François De Coene
Offered by: Goldwood by Boris

Description
These brutalist cabinets by De Coene are crafted in Belgium in the 1970s. Made of black-stained oak, it features two geometric diamond-pattern doors revealing a spacious interior with a shelf and two drawers. The clean lines and textured facade give it a sculptural, rhythmic presence. Sold per piece, two available.

De Coene was founded in 1887 in Kortrijk (Belgium) by Jozef de Coene, who was at that time 13 years old. In 1895, his younger brother Adolphe joined the company. In their early years, De Coene was inspired by Henry van de Velde, Art Deco and the Arts & Crafts movement. The company made many custom-made furnishings which has led to expansive growth. After WWI, Jozef De Coene visited the United States where he became acquainted with laminated wood production, and purchased a wood-stripping machine. They were the first company that made triplex in Belgium which has led to the ability to mass produce.
