Tinted oak cream De Coene 1970

Geometric cream, De Coene Belgium, blackened oak, 1970s. De Coene was founded in 1887 in Courtrai (Belgium) by Jozef de Coene, then 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 and Crafts movement. The company has made many custom furniture, resulting in expansive growth. After the First World War, the brother visited the United States where they became familiar with the production of laminated wood and bought a strip machine. They were the first company to manufacture a triplex in Belgium, which allowed mass production. In 1954, they obtained the right to produce Knoll furniture. But although the company produced on a large scale, there was still worldwide fame for their meticulously detailed, high-quality and Art Deco-inspired furniture. W 200 cm, D 50 cm, H 78 cm
