The main body boasts a teak veneer, characterized by a dense, deep vertical grain that radiates an intense chromatic warmth, typical of high-quality furnishings of the era.
The rigorous forms are elegantly interrupted by the skillful use of contrasting materials: a perimeter band and the edges are finished in matte black. This color choice not only frames the warm essence of the wood, but also accentuates the clean geometry of the piece, lending it a graphic and resolute look.
The front is divided into four symmetrical doors, each enlivened by discreet vertical handles, also in black, that integrate harmoniously without weighing down the volume. Inside, the piece reveals practicality with compartments lined in a lighter wood and divided by shelves, confirming its intended use as a versatile storage unit.
The entire structure rests on a light base, a key stylistic feature of the period. The thin, tapered legs contribute to the visual lightness of the piece, lifting it off the floor. The final touch of distinction is provided by the metal feet. Crafted from polished brass and shaped like truncated cones, these elements not only act as elegant tips, but also add a precious point of light to contrast with the darkness of the legs, reflecting the attention to detail typical of mid-century Italian or Scandinavian design.
