Modernist executive desk model "Standard" by De Coene, Belgium, 1950s

An elegant modernist executive desk, model 'Standard', produced by the renowned Belgian furniture manufacturer De Coene Frères in Kortrijk during the 1950s.

Part of De Coene's post-war 'Standard' office furniture collection, this distinctive desk reflects the restrained geometric forms and functional principles characteristic of Belgian post-war modernism.

The 'Standard' collection has been tentatively attributed to Belgian designer Paul Vandenbulcke, who was closely involved in De Coene's furniture design department during this period.

Crafted in oak veneer, the desk features a beautifully balanced architectural composition, with a generously proportioned rectangular top resting on two substantial pedestal cabinets, each fitted with three drawers.

The design is distinguished by its clean geometric lines, integrated horizontal wooden drawer pulls and characteristic angled panel supports, giving the desk a strong, sculptural presence.

Particularly noteworthy are the subtly curved detailing beneath the desktop, the carefully constructed drawer interiors and the practical pull-out writing surface, reflecting De Coene's attention to both craftsmanship and functionality.

The warm, honey-coloured oak displays a beautifully pronounced grain pattern and an attractive natural patina developed over decades of use. The desktop is protected by a fitted glass top, complementing the desk's refined modernist appearance.

The desk remains in good vintage condition, showing signs of age and use consistent with its history.

A distinctive example of Belgian mid-century modernism, combining architectural proportions, functional design and the refined craftsmanship for which De Coene Frères became widely recognised.

Dimensions: W 160 × D 80 × H 77 cm.

Arnold Madsen & Henry Schubell three-piece lounge set for Bovenkamp, 1960s

An exceptional three-piece lounge set designed by Danish designers Arnold Madsen and Henry Schubell for Bovenkamp in the Netherlands, dating from 1964.

The set consists of a sofa and two complementary armchairs, featuring the distinctive high-back gentleman's chair with its original headrest cushion and the more compact low-back lady's chair.

The design is characterised by its beautifully crafted solid oak frames, complemented by elegantly sculpted teak armrests that extend continuously beyond the backrests. This distinctive construction creates a striking architectural silhouette, particularly when viewed from the side and rear. The combination of warm oak and contrasting teak highlights the refined craftsmanship and strong Scandinavian design influence.

The generously proportioned seats and gently angled backrests provide excellent comfort, while the exposed wooden structures give the pieces a light, elegant appearance.

All three pieces retain their original matching upholstery, featuring a beautifully textured fabric in warm, earthy tones. The upholstery has been exceptionally well preserved, showing only some gentle fading consistent with age. The original fabric contributes significantly to the authenticity and character of this complete ensemble.

Each piece bears the original Bovenkamp manufacturer's stamp with the number 64, confirming the production year of 1964.

A beautifully preserved and increasingly uncommon complete lounge set, combining Danish design sensibilities with the craftsmanship of Dutch furniture manufacturer Bovenkamp. Particularly appealing as an ensemble, with its matching original upholstery, contrasting wood species and distinctive combination of high- and low-back seating.

A distinctive pair of Malmö armchairs, designed by Patricia Urquiola for Moroso in 2002.

The design is defined by its low, architectural profile, with broad upholstered side panels extending almost to floor level and a softly curved inner seat. The open rectangular section beneath the front of the seat gives the chairs a visually lighter appearance despite their substantial proportions.

This pair is upholstered in a subtle off-white to light grey leather, a restrained neutral tone that complements the clean geometry of the design. Both chairs retain their original Moroso labels.

The Malmö collection is no longer in production, making original examples increasingly difficult to find, particularly as a matching pair in leather.

A characteristic example of Patricia Urquiola’s early work for Moroso, combining a structured outer form with a softer, more relaxed seating profile.

Brutalist oak lounge chair and ottoman in original goat hide, 1960s

Distinctive Brutalist lounge chair with matching ottoman, crafted in solid oak and upholstered in its original natural goat hide, dating from approximately the 1960s.

The chair is built around a substantial solid oak frame with a tall, gently inclined backrest, broad horizontal armrests and an unusually elaborate lower construction. Particularly characteristic is the scalloped front rail beneath the seat, together with the strongly articulated block-shaped front supports and curved rear uprights.

The loose seat and back cushions are upholstered in naturally mottled goat hide, complemented by upholstered side sections that give the chair an almost wingback-like silhouette. The reverse is equally well considered, with the hide-covered back framed by exposed solid oak.

The matching ottoman combines the same warm oak and goat hide, with rounded legs, slender stretchers and traditional webbing beneath the upholstered top.

Pair of sculptural cognac leather armchairs, 1970s

A distinctive pair of armchairs dating from the 1970s, combining warm cognac leather upholstery with contrasting white lacquered metal frames.

The design is defined by its tall, segmented backrests composed of generously padded horizontal sections, creating a strong rhythmic profile. Slim upholstered armrests extend forward from the back, while the lower construction is particularly unusual, with cylindrical padded elements positioned beneath the seat and integrated into the white metal structure.

The contrast between the warm leather and the crisp white frame gives the chairs a graphic, architectural appearance typical of experimental 1970s furniture design. Their relatively compact proportions are balanced by the pronounced height of the backrests, resulting in a design that is visually strong from both the front and the side.

Monumental architectural sideboard in ebonized wood, late 1990s

The large cabinet is built as a strongly horizontal composition, with four wide drawers above four substantial panelled doors. Each drawer front is visually divided into two sections, creating the appearance of eight smaller drawers and giving the upper part of the facade a strong geometric rhythm.

A wide projecting top runs across the full length of the piece, while the sides are constructed with an open geometric grid that gives the cabinet a distinctly architectural character.

The four door fronts are framed by deep moulded sections, creating a pronounced sense of depth across the facade. Small square metal details on the drawer fronts provide a restrained contrast to the dark finish.

Particular attention has been given to the construction and proportions. The cabinet is exceptionally substantial and weighs approximately 201 kg, reflecting the heavy materials and high level of workmanship used throughout.

The ebonized finish leaves the grain of the wood visible and gives the cabinet a restrained, graphic appearance. Despite its considerable dimensions, the repetitive four-part structure creates a balanced and highly composed facade.

The sideboard originates from a private interior in Knokke, Belgium, furnished with high-quality international design pieces. Its unusual dimensions and construction suggest that it was probably made to order for the original interior rather than produced as a standard series piece.

A distinctive and exceptionally well-made piece of architectural cabinet furniture.

The architectural vocabulary shows a clear affinity with the furniture designs of Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

Impeccable condition, presenting virtually as new, with no notable signs of wear or use.

Ennio Fazioli “Parioli” double-back executive office chair for MIM Roma, Italy, 1970s

A less commonly seen executive version of the Parioli office chair, designed by Ennio Fazioli for MIM Roma, Italy.

This later variant is distinguished by its sculptural double-back construction, with two separately formed upholstered sections set within high-gloss black outer shells. The seat and backrests are finished in deeply button-tufted black leather, framed by rectangular armrests.

In contrast to earlier documented examples with a four-leg base, this version features a five-star swivel base with castors, height adjustment and a subtle tilt mechanism. The side lever controls the seat height and releases the slight backward movement, while a separate tension k**b regulates the resistance.

A refined and uncommon executive variation within MIM Roma’s long-running office seating programme.
