About De Coene
De Coene - or De Coene Frères / Kortrijkse Kunstwerkstede De Coene - was without any doubt the most important (art deco) furniture workshop in Belgium. After winning the Grand Prix at the famous 1925 ‘l'Exposition des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes’ exhibition in Paris, their name was set as the most important and high quality workshop for furniture and interior design. It was a total workshop where architecture, furniture, textiles, and ornament were conceived as a whole. De Coene also was a very innovative workshop, as Josef de Coene traveled to America in 1921 to purchase one of the earliest machines for creating laminated wood - in an effort to create smoother shapes and better quality furniture.
Interestingly, after the height of the art deco period and World War II De Coene also became a renowned mid century furniture maker. It is very uncommon to find a manufacturer or workshop that peaks at very different styles and in very different periods in time.
Dimensions: W. 50 x D. 35 x H. 67 cm - each
