Black brutalist bar cabinet by Frans Defour, Belgium 1970's
About the Item
A rare and striking example of Belgian brutalist design, this "Torino" bar cabinet was created by Frans Defour in the early 1970s.
The dramatic facade features a rhythmic grid of deeply carved circular motifs, creating a bold interplay of shadow and texture.
Executed in black-stained oak, the cabinet exudes a strong architectural presence, typical of the brutalist and modernist movements of the time.
Inside, a contrasting light oak interior is revealed, featuring clean shelving, a lacquered bottle storage unit, and a mirrored back panel — elements that combine functionality with luxurious details, a hallmark of 1970s bar furniture.
The "Torino" model perfectly captures the shift between late modernism and early postmodernism, balancing severe geometric abstraction with playful surface treatment.
