Sourced from France, this piece perfectly embodies Gabriel's philosophy of functional, accessible design with strong architectural lines.

​Crafted from solid, rich-grained French oak, the cabinet features a sophisticated layout. Flanking a central column of five graduated drawers with unique integrated wooden pull handles are two large sliding doors. These doors feature structured, rectilinear paneling and retain their original discreet brass keyhole escutcheons and simple locking mechanisms. The entire body rests on sturdy, tapered legs with a classic plinth base.
