About the Item
In the 1950s, Pieter De Bruyne (1931-1987) joined the Belgian furniture designers who concentrated on modern social furniture. He was convinced that furniture, in addition to its aesthetic value, must be reasonably priced.
His early work was characterized by rational construction and sober structures.
This cabinet is a nice example of the early work of Pieter De Bruyne. It is designed in 1959 for Al Meubel.
This low cabinet is made of ash wood covered with a transparent beige varnish. The base is very nice detailed with metal parts. Take a look at the detail pictures! This cabinet is in good condition with signs of age and use.
Pieter De Bruyne was very strict and accurate, unhappy experiences with furniture manufacturers, who always changed his designs, forced him to return to one-off, handmade pieces in the 1960s.
In the 1970s and 1980s he evolved to the post-modern style.

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.
