Its meticulous design highlights the refinement of the precious wood, enhanced by a polyester varnish and black lacquer, which give it a glossy and sophisticated finish.
Designed to adapt to the needs of its owner, this modular piece is divided into several harmonious sections.
The lower unit consists of two doors concealing a fixed shelf, as well as a second unit equipped with four drawers, separated by an open storage space.
This arrangement allows for optimal organization, providing both a closed storage space and an accessible area.
The upper section, meanwhile, offers great flexibility thanks to its six adjustable shelves, allowing the layout to be adapted to suit the objects and books to be displayed. Two modules with glass doors complete the ensemble, providing an elegant display case that protects while displaying precious pieces.
This piece is a fine example of the craftsmanship of the Paul Michel workshops, illustrating the ingenuity and aesthetics of 20th-century furniture.
Its timeless style and ergonomic design make it a centerpiece, as practical as it is elegant.
