It originates from central europe, from the mid-twentieth century, within industrial furniture production.

multi-drawer cabinets organised tools and small materials in production settings. Their solid top served as a support and work surface for decades.

the body is solid pine, with two columns of drawers with iron pulls and a thick top of good edge. The construction is robust and notably heavy, with wooden runners for the drawers.

the mustard paint shows intense wear, with splatters, colour stains and areas where the wood emerges, above all on the top. The patina reads authentic, the fruit of prolonged use.

today it serves as a storage piece with character, an auxiliary island or an industrial sideboard. It fits industrial, loft and eclectic interiors, where it brings a robust presence and an honest patina.
