Designed by jiri jiroutek and produced by tatra pravenec in the czech republic. Czech design will always be affiliated to the bauhaus movement which inspired a generation of design and industrial production in czechia principally during the second half of the 20th century with producers such as ton and up zavody amongst many others. Tatra pravenec’s origins were originally as a timber and bentwood producer and supplier of chairs, but in the boom period of post-war furniture production they developed as a sophisticated independent producer. The inside of the cabinet features a small internal storage area with an adjustable shelf and a small drawer (internal dimensions l36 x w30 x h4). The main cabinet is made from well figured birch with a contrasting sapele interior. The shelves are l41 and w74 with the top shelf height 17cm and a higher 20cm for the bottom shelf. All dimensions are in cm. The whole cabinet is beautifully made sitting on a blonde birch base. Our workshop has gently restored the cabinet so all drawers and doors run well and the cabinet is in exceptional original condition.

All of our vintage products show the rich beauty and history of their life with the knocks and bumps of many years of use and we try to minimise restoration to keep every piece as original as possible.
