This chest has one of the more distinctive designs from the Dania collection, featuring a dramatic series of sculpted, louvered walnut drawer fronts that create horizontal lines across the entire façade. The case is elevated on tapered wood legs accented with brass collars and a brass stretcher along the base, giving the otherwise substantial cabinet a light, architectural appearance.

The combination of richly figured walnut, sculptural drawer fronts, and brass detailing gives the piece a strong Danish-modern influence while remaining a classic example of high-quality American mid-century furniture.

Excellent storage in a relatively compact footprint makes this a particularly useful piece for a bedroom while the unusual façade makes it substantial enough to work as a statement piece in virtually any interior. See less
