Made of pine, it features an open structure organized by shelves of varying heights and two integrated storage modules. The drawers, in wood and colored laminate, introduce a subtle graphic variation while maintaining the overall coherence. The balanced and rhythmic vertical composition reflects a precise functional approach.

This furniture is part of the equipment programs for Alpine resorts, where Pierre Guariche developed a modernist style adapted to communal use, combining rationality with the warmth of the material. It was notably presented at the 1969 Salon des Arts Ménagers (Household Arts Exhibition).

Produced by Negroni, circa 1968.
