Product description
A brutalist sideboard by De Coene, made in Belgium in the 1970s. Crafted from black-stained oak, the piece showcases four geometric diamond-pattern doors opening to reveal generous storage. Its rhythmic symmetry and strong graphic presence define its brutalist character. A timeless Mid-Century Modern design in excellent original condition, ideal for storing and displaying books, art, and collectibles.
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.
