We proudly present an exceptional and historically significant piece of furniture:
a unique wall unit with integrated bar , designed by the Belgian architect Roger Dewinter in 1951 for the Van den Eynde home in Vilvoorde.
This extraordinary piece of furniture is not just a bar, but a tangible piece of Belgian design history.
Dewinter designed it in close collaboration with Jean Batenburg 's EMY studio, one of the most important furniture manufacturers of Belgian modernism. Together they created a piece that masterfully combines architecture, art, and craftsmanship .
The design exudes the spirit of the early 1950s: clean, balanced lines , geometric proportions , and a subtle interplay of light and dark between the blond wood and the deep black legs. Every detail demonstrates a strong sense of form and a pursuit of harmony and tranquility.
Roger Dewinter (1914–1995) is considered a pioneer of Belgian modernism.
He worked as an architect, interior designer, and furniture maker, leaving behind a refined oeuvre that emphasizes simplicity, function, and the purity of materials. His work is held in important public and private collections, including the Design Museum Ghent , which houses a lounge from the same period.
The similarities between that museum piece and this piece of furniture – the lines, the rhythm, the contrast – confirm the importance of this unique object within his oeuvre.
This wall unit with bar is a rare, one-off design , never produced in series.
A museum masterpiece , reflecting the refinement and craftsmanship of the Belgian modernist movement at its peak.
A unique opportunity to add a work of historical importance to an internationally renowned collection.
