Pieter De Bruyne
Pieter De Bruyne was also employed as a designer by another famous Italian designer, Gino Sarfatti, for whom he produced several stunning lighting designs for Arteluce during the late 50s to mid–60s. From 1970 onwards, De Bruyne mainly focused on the production of highly crafted artisan-produced, unique one-off, avant-garde sculptural furniture designs in an early post-modern style. De Bruyne's 1975 'Chantilly' cabinet proved to be one of the most admired and talked about pieces in the international press' reviews of the Victoria and Albert museum's "Postmodernism style and subversion" exhibition held in London in 2012. De Bruyne's small production output is highly sought after by the cognoscenti, and there has been a huge amount of recent interest in his work following the Victoria and Albert museum's exhibition and the huge retrospective exhibition of his work held at the Design Museum in Ghent in Belgium during 2012, an exhibition, which also featured in Belgian TV.
