materials: made of solid pine, the cabinet retains its numerous individual drawers and their wooden knobs. The marks and variations in the wood bear witness to its use and contribute to its patina.

features: the front is punctuated by 130 small drawers arranged in 13 rows of 10, offering remarkable storage capacity. Originally designed as a shop cabinet, it could have been used for organizing and storing a multitude of small parts or products. Its graphic repetition of drawers and its generous dimensions make it a particularly striking piece today, ideal for a living room, kitchen, office, or shop.

restoration: the cabinet has been completely sanded, cleaned, and treated against wood-boring insects. It was left in its raw wood state. Five missing drawers were recreated using reclaimed wood planks and antique knobs.

dimensions: w137.5 x d38 x h129.5 cm.

130 drawers: w10 x h8 cm.

a rare and spectacular piece, somewhere between a storage unit and a true element of interior design, whose 130 drawers and patina evoke all the charm of antique workshop furniture. See less
