About the Item

Elegant pair of nightstands crafted by Vivai del Sud, the renowned Italian manufacturer celebrated for its exotic and refined aesthetic that defined luxury interiors of the 1970s. These two pieces, entirely clad in pressed bamboo arranged in a herringbone pattern, are a perfect example of the artisanal craftsmanship and the material-driven, decorative approach typical of the brand. Each nightstand features an upper drawer and a front door that conceals a spacious and functional storage compartment-ideal for daily use in bedrooms or tropical-inspired living spaces.

By Vivai del Sud
Located in Conversano, IT
Exceptional four-drawer chest by Vivai del Sud, the iconic Italian atelier known for its use of natural materials and a refined, exotic style, particularly active between the 1960s and 1980s. This piece perfectly embodies the brand's sophisticated and Mediterranean aesthetic. The structure is entirely clad in pressed bamboo arranged in a herringbone pattern, a detail that adds visual rhythm and depth to the surface.
