The minvielle collection, produced in the 1960s, applied a rigorous industrial aesthetic to the domestic space: wooden frame, metal legs, and standardized hardware.

the cabinet, finished in a satin varnish, rests on square-section legs lacquered in black, retaining the original plastic feet. The three wide, shallow drawers slide smoothly without runners. The round, inset handles in black abs — in pairs — are characteristic of the collection's design vocabulary.

the drawer interiors are made of natural plywood and are in good condition. The piece has a uniform patina.
