Product description
Sixties space age cabinet DF 2000 - designed by Raymond Loewy for Doubinsky Brothers.
This beautiful cabinet with drawers is in well kept condition with normal traces of use and no deep scratches in the plastic fronts. The stunning DF 2000 cabinet is an example of modern space age design in its purest form. It was produced by the French company Doubinsky Frères in the sixties. The choice of materials, particularly the use of plastic, was groundbreaking during its time. Pushing the boundaries of traditional furniture design. The molded plastic drawers have a gradient color pattern from dark brown to a softer tone cream color.
In 1965, the designer designed the DF 2000 plastic chest of drawers, the DF 2000 desk and the X-Line sideboard (1960s) particularly known for their original pop colors. Timeless pieces, still appealing to design lovers.
Raymond Loewy was born in Paris in 1893 and died in 1986. At a very young age, he became passionate about design and won his first prize at the Gordon Bennett aeronautical cup at the age of 15. He joined the French army during the First World War and was decorated with the Legion of Honor. In 1919, Loewy moved to the United States. He became a window dresser in New York then a fashion illustrator for Vogue. He then became artistic director of Westinghouse. Finally he founded his own design agency, working for major brands such as Shell, Coca-Cola, Loreal, LU and even Monoprix. After becoming a naturalized American citizen, he designed the Lucky Strike cigarette package in 1940. He retired in 1980 after an impressive career.
