This three-drawer chest (or nightstand) perfectly captures the "Coastal Chic" and tropical organic modernism popular in high-end mid-century design. The piece is defined by its rich, honey-toned natural wicker and intricate woven textures. The most striking feature is the thick, over-sized braided trim (often referred to as "pie crust" or "rope" edging) that frames the top perimeter and each individual drawer. This heavy braiding adds a three-dimensional architectural quality that elevates it above standard rattan furniture.

High-quality woven wicker over a sturdy wood frame, featuring a vertical "pole" rattan structure visible on the sides.

The top is fitted with a custom-cut inset glass pane, protecting the delicate weaving while providing a level surface for lamps or decor. See less
