The Pastoe CU05 cabinet by Cees Braakman – Japanese series is an iconic piece of Dutch design from the late 1950s. During this period, designer Cees Braakman drew inspiration from the understated aesthetic of Japanese design. For Pastoe, this resulted in a series of furniture where minimalism, refined proportions, and practical functionality come together. Moreover, this particular piece still bears the original production stamp from September 11, 1959, a beautiful detail that underscores the furniture's authenticity.
The cabinet is crafted from warm teak and possesses a calm, elegant appearance. The clean lines and slender black metal legs give the piece a light, almost floating form. Behind the four doors are shelves, while the two white flaps offer additional storage space. At the bottom are two drawers that can also be positioned differently within the cabinet if desired. The combination of closed surfaces, refined proportions, and subtle contrasts makes this design particularly balanced. The cabinet is in very beautiful vintage condition and has been professionally inspected, preserving its original character and the warm appearance of the teak.
A rare Dutch design classic that effortlessly combines minimalist elegance and practical functionality.
