Its appearance features clean lines, functional elegance, and a keen attention to detail. Crafted from rich-colored teak wood with distinctive grain patterns, it showcases a balanced combination of open and closed elements.

At the top, the unit includes two spacious closed compartments: one with a drop-down door and another with traditional doors, both adorned with an elegant grissinatura finish that adds depth and character. In the lower section, there is a small drop-down compartment and three drawers, all decorated with the same grissinatura detailing.

The slender, tapered legs lighten the structure, providing a touch of class that allows the piece to seamlessly integrate into both classic and modern settings, creating an intriguing contrast. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
