The pieces belong to the mid-century style and can be used as both bedside tables and side tables.

belform is known for numerous elegant and sculptural furniture pieces, including chests of drawers.

the two chests of drawers have a classic cubic form and are made of wood veneer with a warm, clearly visible grain. Each chest has three wide drawers with striking, square metal handles. The simple design of the front is further emphasized by the horizontal wood grain. On the sides, the grain runs vertically, accentuating the clean lines of the cabinet.

each chest of drawers stands on a recessed black plinth. This creates a striking contrast between the warm wood and the dark base. At the same time, the recessed plinth makes the cubic cabinet appear slightly raised from the floor.

the design is characterized by its simplicity and refined form. Industrial-inspired elements and the combination of metal and fine woods define the design. The square metal handles add a striking accent to the otherwise minimalist fronts, while the visible grain of the wood veneer enhances the warm appeal of both pieces.

inside, the drawers are light-colored and feature a geometrically patterned, colored drawer bottom. The red, blue, and white pattern provides a playful contrast to the simple, clean lines of the wooden fronts.

condition: the chests of drawers are in good vintage condition with natural signs of age and use that have accumulated over the years.
