The drawers project slightly from the structure, giving the object a rhythmic, almost architectural façade.

The design reflects Mario Botta’s architectural language, where form is driven by clarity, proportion, and structural logic. Instead of hiding construction, the piece emphasizes it, turning the furniture into a kind of small-scale building.

The result is both functional storage and a sculptural object that expresses order and geometry in a very direct way.

Condition: Very good vintage condition. Light signs of age and use on the exterior with very minor wear to surfaces; most wear is visible on the inside of the drawer as per images. Fully functional and ready for normal daily use. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
designer records,
or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising
