A boldly sculptural two-drawer chest in solid oak, Belgian, circa 1960s. with its broad proportions and emphatic lines, this piece is firmly rooted in the Brutalist tradition—its massing and construction speak to a reverence for honest materials and unembellished form. The thick, slab-like top with irregular natural edges recalls the aesthetic language of Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Chapo, while the oversized turned wood pulls lend a touch of playful severity.

The oak has aged beautifully, acquiring a rich patina and showcasing the expressive grain and subtle imperfections of the timber. A deeply characterful piece, striking as a console, bedside, or occasional storage in a restrained interior. See less
