COPPES NAPANEE | HOOSIER 150

The Hoosier Cabinet Reborn.

The most functional piece of furniture ever built for the American kitchen is back. Coppes Napanee built the original Hoosier Cabinet in Nappanee, Indiana, starting in 1916. Over a million homes had one. Then the modern built-in kitchen arrived, and the world moved on. We never forgot what made it work. A century later, we built it again with the same hardwood frames, the same commitment to daily use, and every detail reconsidered for the way you live now.

Meet the Family

The traditional hoosier, faithfully reinterpreted.

MODEL A

The tambour door still rolls. The countertop still pulls out. The upper cabinet still organizes everything you reach for most. What's changed is the construction precision, the finish quality, and the range of ways to make it yours. Specify your wood species, finish, door style, and countertop. It arrives complete and ready to place.

AN EYE FOR THE UNEXPECTED

MODEL B

Model B takes the classic Hoosier silhouette and pushes it somewhere new. The upper cabinet centers on a signature arched tambour that opens to reveal adjustable shelving behind. Flanking the tambour, cane webbing panel overlays replace solid doors, bringing warmth and texture without adding visual weight. When the tambour is closed, the arch reads as a quiet piece of sculpture. When it opens, it becomes a fully functional display cabinet. Model B is the Hoosier for the person who wants the history and the craft, but wants it to feel entirely their own.

BUILT FOR COFFEE

MODEL C

Model C starts with the classic Hoosier form and rebuilds it entirely around the modern kitchen bar. The tambour opens to reveal a dedicated appliance space with a built-in plumbing knockout for a Wolf or comparable built-in coffee machine—or leave it open for an espresso setup, grinder, and gear. The countertop pulls out to extend your workspace when you need it. Below, a waste pullout and drawer stack keep the counter clear. Model C is a home bar, a coffee station, a butler's pantry in a single piece.

The Story So Far

1916

THE CABINET THAT CHANGED THE AMERICAN KITCHEN

In 1916, Coppes Napanee introduced the Hoosier Cabinet. Flour sifter, sugar bin, pull-out workspace, upper storage—everything a cook reached for, consolidated into one carefully considered piece of furniture. It would find its way into over a million American homes.

1920's

THE KITCHEN’S MOST USEFUL OBJECT

Through the 1920s, the Hoosier Cabinet became a fixture in American kitchens. Manufacturers competed on features, but Coppes Napanee remained among the most respected makers. It was the first truly efficient kitchen storage system, engineered furniture decades before that phrase existed.

1940's - 1950's

THE BUILT-IN KITCHEN TAKES OVER

After World War II, the American kitchen moved toward built-in cabinetry running wall to wall. The freestanding Hoosier Cabinet began to disappear. Families moved, kitchens were remodeled, and production wound down quietly.

Late 20th Century

THE COLLECTORS FIND IT

Decades later, the Hoosier Cabinet found a second life among antique collectors and design enthusiasts. Original Coppes pieces became sought-after objects: genuinely well-made, genuinely useful, and genuinely gone. Restored Hoosiers began reappearing in the kitchens and dining rooms of people who recognized what had been lost.

THE HOOSIER RETURNS

With the original Hoosier Cabinet approaching its 110th anniversary, Coppes Napanee decided to bring it back. Not as a reproduction. As a serious piece of furniture, reengineered from the ground up with the same hardwood construction and daily-use durability that defined the original.
