About the Item

Freestanding toy wardrobe. Verzuu from the Netherlands became director of ADO and continued to showcase his sense of color and abstract expression reminiscent of Destyle through his toy designs. ADO stands for Arbeid Door Onvolwaardigen, and woodworking was adopted as occupational therapy for convalescent patients in sanatoriums to help them reintegrate into society. The door fittings are equipped with ball catches, there are small hangers attached, and there are wide drawers inside and below the double-doors, making it so meticulously made that it's hard to believe it's a toy.
