By Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Cassina
Located in Sant'Arsenio, Campania
An iconic DS5 sideboard designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and produced by Cassina as part of the celebrated I Maestri Collection in Italy during the 1990s.
Originally conceived by Mackintosh at the turn of the 20th century, the DS5 exemplifies the designer's distinctive architectural approach to furniture, in which geometry, proportion, and decorative restraint combine to create an object of exceptional visual presence. More than just a storage cabinet, this piece serves as an architectural element within an interior.
Produced under license by Cassina, whose “I Maestri” collection is internationally recognized for its faithful reissues of historic design masterpieces, this piece preserves the spirit and proportions of the original design while benefiting from the exceptional manufacturing standards of late 20th-century Italian production.
The structure is made of black-stained ash and features leaded glass panels, creating a striking contrast between solidity and transparency. The vertical composition, geometric detailing, and sculptural silhouette make the cabinet instantly recognizable as one of Mackintosh's most celebrated furniture designs.
The DS5 remains highly sought after by collectors of Arts and Crafts furniture, Art Nouveau design, early modernist architecture, and Cassina's historic editions.
An ideal statement piece for sophisticated residential interiors, hospitality projects, design collections, and architecturally driven spaces.
Professionally restored and preserved in excellent vintage condition.
