Pastoe CU05 cabinet by Cees Braakman – Japanese series

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 was inspired by the understated aesthetics of Japanese design. For Pastoe, this resulted in a series of furniture that combines minimalism, refined proportions, and practical functionality. This piece also bears the original production stamp from September 11, 1959, a beautiful detail that underlines the authenticity of the furniture. The cabinet is made of warm teak and has a calm, elegant look. The clean lines and slender black metal legs give the furniture a light, almost floating shape. Behind the four doors are shelves, while the two white flaps offer extra storage space. At the bottom are two drawers that can also be placed in a different position in the cabinet if desired. The combination of closed surfaces, refined proportions, and subtle contrasts makes this design particularly balanced. The cabinet is in very good vintage condition and has been professionally inspected, retaining its original character and the warm appearance of teak. A rare Dutch design classic that effortlessly combines minimalist elegance and practical functionality.
