The cabinets are composed of circular molded plastic modules featuring integrated sliding doors that follow the curved geometry of the structure. Their compact dimensions and soft forms reflect the Space Age aesthetic that characterized much European furniture design of the period.

This pair of modular units can be perfectly used as bedside tables, offering both storage and sculptural presence.

Prisunic became known for promoting accessible modern design through collaborations with innovative designers who explored modular and industrial materials. Marc Held, in particular, developed a number of experimental furniture concepts that combined functionality with bold visual simplicity.

The modules can be used individually as small bedside cabinets or stacked to create a vertical storage column. Versions with sliding doors are less frequently encountered than open modules, making this configuration particularly appealing.
