The warm wood grain on the front contrasts beautifully with the matte black lacquered sides and top.

The layout is both refined and highly practical. At the top is a smaller compartment with two small sliding doors. In the middle is a larger compartment with two wide sliding doors. Behind these sits a beautiful asymmetrical tiered shelf arrangement, combined with two small drawers. Along the bottom runs a row of three drawers across the full width of the cabinet.

It is precisely this combination of clean exterior lines and a playful yet functional inner structure that makes the piece so appealing. It works perfectly as a tea cabinet or storage piece, but also as a subtle focal point in a living room, dining room, or bedroom. The cabinet brings a quiet sense of wabi-sabi and minimalism into a contemporary interior with ease.

In very good condition in proportion to its age, with normal signs of age and light wear.

A particularly beautiful and harmonious piece of furniture with strong character and practical storage. See less
