Belgium is well-known for their great modernistic designers of sideboards such as Alfred Hendrickx, Oswald Vermaercke, Pieter de Bruyne and Jos de Mey. However, Gebroeders De Coene is certainly  in a league of its own if it concerns quality. While other designers worked with fragile particleboard, Gebroeders de Coene built their furniture to last multiple lifetimes. Gebroeders de Coene was a company originating from Kortrijk Belgium (1887-1976) that had a long-standing history of building high quality furniture. Part of their furniture was more art-deco aimed, while the other part was more modernistic aimed. The company employed world-renowned designers as Florence Knoll, Jean Prouve, Charlotte Perriand and Marcel Breuer for their furniture division. As well, they produced furniture in license for Knoll International. Although their company flourished after WWI and after WWII, the company went bankrupt in 1976 due to problems in the building division of the company. Their legacy lives on in the cherished furniture pieces that are still around; well beloved and well taken care for by worldwide enthusiasts.
