About the Item

Mobilier d'urgence type v.150 by Rene Gabriel The 'Mobilier d'urgence type v.150' is a cabinet designed by French designer René Gabriel, part of a series of emergency furniture created as part of the reconstruction programme for the WWII-affected city of Le Havre. The model name is 'type v.150'. René Gabriel was a decorative artist and designer born in Maison Alfort, Paris, who designed the Chambre de Jeune Fille for the International Exhibition of Modern Industrial and Decorative Arts in 1925 for the International Ambassade de Française. He also devoted himself to designing wallpaper with block prints of flowers, landscapes and abstract paintings, and after the Second World War, Auguste Perret commissioned him to design furniture for Le Havre, where he became a major influence. René Gabriel had a logical and sophisticated style that inspired many new designers. In his honour, the René Gabriel Prize, dedicated to modern design, was created in 1951, and has been awarded to a number of well-known designers. Country / France Date / 1950s.

Japanese Antique Tansu 1860s-1900s / Sideboard Wabi Sabi #02
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
This is a historically significant Japanese Tansu cabinet, crafted from cedar wood during the Meiji period (1860s–1900s). Its minimalist and refined design embodies traditional Japanese aesthetics, bringing a sense of understated elegance and serene presence to any interior. Over time, the cedar wood has developed a warm, rich patina, enhancing the cabinet’s unique character and depth. A distinctive feature of this piece is the lattice at the upper back, designed to provide ventilation. The sliding doors operate smoothly, and the piece has been carefully cleaned and disinfected, ready for immediate use. Its condition is excellent considering its age. This Tansu reflects the philosophy of *wabi-sabi*, finding beauty in imperfection and impermanence. Its understated elegance contrasts with conventional opulence, making it a rare and distinctive work of craftsmanship. Additionally, this cabinet can be paired and stacked with the Japanese Antique Tansu...
