Rudolf Lorenz, Larch Cabinet, 1928 Austria LORENZ Möbel.
Collector’s rarity!
Beautiful, rare, elegant, modern, old, compact,design, fashionable, refreshed….for the next 100 years.

This is the only piece that has been found. (we think it's a prototype)
LORENZ MÖBEL only made custom-designed orders.

Restored piece, all parts are original. (available photo documentation)
Original key and lock.
The cabinet made of solid larch and black walnut. It was absolutely ahead of its time, as it was mid-century design in 1928.
The cabinet was treated with oil in several layers.
The grain of the larch is even more spectacular after the oil treatment, it attracts the eye.
Beautiful Scandinavian design from an Austrian designer in 1928.
We have photo documentation of the restoration.

During our online research, we came to the conclusion that this 1 piece has been found so far and it is possible that it was a prototype.

They sold it for firewood, we found it and bought it. We thought it was Scandinavian from the 60s and 70s. We were able to identify the designer by chance. (we searched for something else)
It took nearly 120 hours to restore.

Kunst und Wohnung, R. Lorenz was founded in 1919 and is located at Josefstädter Straße 21 in Vienna.
Besides Rudolf Lorenz, Samuel Goldfarb and Oskar Reichel were managing directors and partners. KUWO or Lorenz Möbel, also known as art director by architect Hugo Gorge and employee of the Wiener Werkstätte, was mainly involved in the production, procurement and distribution of furniture, as well as all kinds of decorative arts and home furnishings. The company, which changed in 1934, was located in Seilergasse 7, the first district of Vienna, and had a branch in the neighboring Plankengasse. At the end of 1937, Oskar Reichel’s son Raimund (1904-1997) was appointed managing director and the name of the company changed to Kunst und Wohnung, Lorenz & Reichel Gesm.bH. A year later, the Nazi authorities blocked the company and then liquidated it. The company was finally deleted from the company register in May 1942.
