Title: Mid-Century Modern Record Cabinet in Teak w/ Chrome Legs After Ste Marie & Laurent, Canada, c. 1970's
About: This elegant Mid-Century Modern record cabinet, inspired by the designs of Ste Marie and Laurent, showcases the refined craftsmanship of 1970s Canadian design. Constructed from teak, the cabinet features a warm, golden-brown finish that highlights the wood’s natural grain, complemented by a contoured top that adds a subtle sculptural flourish. Two sliding doors provide seamless access to the interior, while inset door pulls offer a discreet, minimalist touch. The chrome legs, integrated into each cabinet side, lend a sleek, modernist contrast to the rich teak, elevating the piece’s versatility as both functional storage and a stylish accent. Ideal for a living room, den, or collector’s curated space, this cabinet embodies the era’s blend of form and function with timeless appeal.
Ste Marie and Laurent, a Canadian design duo active during the mid-20th century, were known for their contributions to Mid-Century Modern furniture with a distinctive Canadian flair. Based in Canada, the partnership, likely comprising designers or craftsmen with the surnames Ste Marie and Laurent, focused on blending natural materials like teak with sleek metal accents, such as chrome. Their work, often characterized by clean lines and innovative storage solutions, gained recognition in the 1960s and 1970s, influencing pieces like record cabinets that catered to the growing demand for stylish, functional home furnishings. Their legacy continues to resonate with collectors of modernist design.
Origin: Canada
Proof: Ample Provenance - Industry Consensus
Period: 1980s
Material: Teak | Chrome
State: As-Is (Tastefully Aged)
Condition Details: Save for a minor repair on the back, this gorgeous record cabinet is in original, vintage condition and has aged to perfection! The mix of solid and veneered Burmese teak composition is in remarkably excellent shape given it's age showing only minor nicks too light to be picked up by our camera and only minor chipping on the backside of the piece where holes were drilled out by the previous owner to hide power cords (shown in the detail photos provided). With that said there are no stains, deep scratches or other wear present whatsoever and the variegated woodgrains of the teak are absolutely mesmerizing in natural light.
The chrome legs too are in excellent vintage condition showing only minor surface scratches and nicks (the worst of which can be seen in the detail photos provided) but showing no stains, rust or pitting whatsoever. Both sliding doors open and close with ease and the single shelf is adjustable.
This versatile piece is functional, structurally solid and ready for a lifetime more of use. Please view all photos and natural light video for details on this petite cabinet's current condition. We're limited on the amount of media we can post so additional photos and videos are available upon request.
