It belongs to the second generation of the 602/g furniture series by deutsche möbelwerkstätten hellerau. Its distinguishing features are the sophisticated craftsmanship, the use of high-quality materials, and a clean, modern design.

the surfaces are finished with senesce veneer. Two keys are included.

this box-like piece of furniture stands on an interchangeable trestle with four short, tapered wooden legs. The front is divided into six square modules. On the left, the vertical lines dominate, featuring a square, lockable door and five drawers below. On the right is a rectangular glass display case above two lockable doors. The display case opens with two sliding doors and is divided by a shelf.

the organically shaped drawer handles enliven the otherwise austere lines of the front, as does the carefully showcased grain of the veneer.
