Product description
Unique vintage Steel Furniture cabinet - industrial heritage with history
This robust steel cabinet is an authentic product of Staalmeubel N.V., founded in 1932 in Amsterdam. The company moved to a modern factory in Velsen in 1950 and became part of Gispen in the early 1960s. With this, Staalmeubel grew into an important part of the Dutch furniture industry, known for its solid and functional designs.
This example has a special history: the cabinet was used for the health insurance fund's giro cards. In these drawers the cards were carefully stored and arranged. With these cards, the health insurance fund clerks literally went door-to-door collecting premiums, a tangible reminder of a time when health care was organized very differently.
The cabinet was painted by the previous owner in its current green color and fitted with dozens of sturdy drawers, complete with the distinctive handles and label holders. Ideal for use as storage furniture, filing cabinet or collectible.
In addition to its practical value, this piece of furniture is a piece of living heritage: industrial design that played a role in the daily lives of thousands of Dutch people. An eye-catcher for lovers of vintage, industrial living or design history - practical, rare and with a unique story.
