A very rare matched pair of 1920s Art Deco counters by the renowned Belgian firm De Coene, these pieces exemplify the atelier’s mastery of modernist elegance, refined craftsmanship, and architectural form. Their elongated silhouettes, rounded corners, and interplay of oak veneer with glass panels capture the confident, streamlined aesthetic that defined De Coene’s early work. Both counters have been professionally refinished, revealing the full depth and warmth of the oak veneer while preserving the integrity of the original design. The façades feature a rhythmic arrangement of horizontal and vertical elements, giving each piece a sculptural presence. Glass-fronted sections introduce a sense of transparency and lightness, balancing the solidity of the wood and enhancing their display potential. The interiors offer generous storage and organizational possibilities, reflecting De Coene’s commitment to functional sophistication. Every curve, joint, and surface speaks to the atelier’s meticulous attention to detail and its reputation as one of Belgium’s most influential furniture manufacturers of the early 20th century. Originally intended for refined commercial or domestic settings; boutiques, reception areas, or private offices, these counters now serve beautifully as bars, media consoles, display units, or statement anchors in contemporary interiors. Their scale, symmetry, and material richness make them especially compelling when used together. A distinguished and exceptionally rare pair of De Coene Art Deco...

De Coene, showcase, teak, steel, glass, Belgium, 1960s Modernist showcase with lockable doors, accompanied with a steel frame and wooden shelf. The vitrine features the Brutalist characteristics of De Coene. The showcase was originally designed for a governmental building in Brussels. The Kunstwerkstede De Coene was invited to design the interior project in the late 1950s-1960s. De Coene designed several high-quality pieces exclusively for this building, among others these vitrines. For the design of these pieces, De Coene was inspired by the previous furniture in this building, which were designed by master designer Jules Wabbes. This is reflected for example in the steel frame. De Coene was founded in 1887 in Kortrijk (Belgium) by Jozef de Coene, who was at that time 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 & Crafts movement. The company made many custom made furnishings which leads to an expansive growth. After world war one, the brother visited the United States where they became acquainted with laminated wood production, and purchased a wood-stripping machine. They were the first company that made triplex in Belgium which led to the ability to mass produce. In 1954 they received the right to produce Knoll furniture. But although the company produced on a large-scale, their were still world famous for their meticulously detailed, high-quality and Art Deco inspired furniture.
