Raymond Loewy DF-2000 Modern Furniture Series


We always loved these vintage out-of-production pieces designed by Raymond Loewy. The Raymond Loewy DF2000 cabinet series was manufactured by "Doubinsky Frères" in France around 1965. How did an American industrial designer like Raymond Loewy end up with a French manufacturer? Nobody seems to know.

If you love space age modern furniture, you will be hard-pressed to resist them. Unfortunately they have some design issues; they are super heavy and each of the feet was 4-parted in a star shape pattern needing an additional metal plate to hold them together. We have been waiting for someone to release them again with the slight improvements that are needed. So Vitra, Knoll, Herman Miller, etc...if you are reading this...
