a design storage cabinet, symbol of a modern-day timeless classic with sleek uncluttered lines upon which the japanese architect takahama projects a deep relationship with the past, recalling the ancient art of lacquer finishes.

especially admired for its architectural persona and for its versatility of use in various settings, bramante is a piece of lacquered furniture that, with its pure, geometric shapes, reveals all of its artisanal sophistication.

the storage cabinet was reinterpreted with a contemporary twist by eliminating the modules, adding glass shelves and installing an interior led lighting system.

a storage unit with modern lines, although of classical inspiration, that becomes the emblem of the ultrarazionale collection, in this case an example of ancient lacquering techniques are being customized for industrial-level manufacturing. The iconic symbol of the simoncollezione di cassina, bramante stands out for its architectural presence and versatility of use in different environments. The 2019 revision - which now extends to the bramantino version - maintains the shapes and dimensions but profoundly changes the constructive design by eliminating the modules, making it more contemporary and adding a new interior led light and continuous glass shelves showcasing a spirit of innovation.
