Designed by A.R. Cordemeyer in the 1950s for the renowned Dutch manufacturer Gispen, the model 5600 metal cabinet is a refined example of post-war functionalism. With its clean industrial lines, durable steel construction, and minimalist proportions, it reflects the balance between utility and aesthetics that defined mid-century Dutch design. Suitable for both residential and professional interiors, this piece offers storage with architectural presence and historic value.
Founded in the early 20th century, Gispen became one of the Netherlands’ most influential design manufacturers, known for combining modernist ideals with practical elegance. In the 1950s, designer André R. Cordemeyer brought a new, industrial edge to Gispen’s aesthetic, creating iconic steel furniture like the 5006 cabinet — pieces that remain sought-after for their clarity, durability, and design integrity.
