DF-2000 Commode by Raymond Loewy – chrome – Space Age design

✨ Iconic DF-2000 chest of drawers designed by Raymond Loewy, a major figure in 20th-century industrial design. Created in the late 1960s for the DF-2000 series produced by the Doubinsky brothers in France, this piece has become one of the most emblematic pieces of the Space Age movement and futuristic design. 🚀 Born in Paris in 1893, Raymond Loewy is often regarded as the "father of industrial design." He is credited with the design of numerous American locomotives, iconic logos such as those for Shell and Exxon, as well as projects for Coca-Cola, Air Force One, and even NASA. His visionary approach has profoundly influenced 20th-century design. 🪞 This version features a particularly sought-after configuration consisting of 5 drawers with 6 chrome fronts. The piece is organised with three fronts on the left and three on the right, including a large double drawer hidden behind two stacked fronts. This asymmetrical composition contributes to the graphic and avant-garde aesthetic characteristic of the DF-2000 series. 🏛️ The structure combines a laminated wood case with thermoformed plastic fronts finished in chrome, resting on an aluminium base and structure. The design of the integrated handles and the soft lines of the fronts reflect the pursuit of modern and functional furniture, emblematic of French production from 1967 to 1970. ✅ Very good overall condition. The chrome fronts offer a spectacular and timeless presence. This model is now a sought-after collector's item for vintage design enthusiasts and Space Age furniture. 📏 Dimensions. Height: 65 cm.
