The design is simple and rational: delicately molded shelves, small ball finials, and a light vertical proportion that frees up space. Beech, widely used in those decades for its strength and beautiful grain, has acquired a warm patina that emphasizes the piece's domestic and enduring nature. In the spirit of post-war French and Scandinavian modernism—function above all, restrained ornamentation—this piece combines practicality (ample storage) with a decorative silhouette. Ideal for books, objects, and glassware, it will find its place equally well in a living room or an office. See less
