About the Item

A rare and fascinating example of 1970s organic design, this rattan and bamboo storage chest, attributed to Belgian designer Axel Enthoven, combines functionality and natural beauty with a sophisticated simplicity typical of European modernist design of the time. Made entirely from natural materials, it features a solid bamboo frame and hand-woven rattan with great craftsmanship. The clean lines and balanced proportions reflect the "less is more" approach, while offering a strong decorative presence. The warm and enveloping texture of the woven rattan makes this piece ideal for both indoor and covered outdoor spaces, thanks to its versatility of use. The piece opens completely at the top, revealing a large storage compartment, perfect for storing cushions, throws, linens, magazines, or even garden accessories. It can be used as an outdoor trunk, a storage bench on the porch, a chest in the entryway, or as an original accessory in a bedroom or living room with a natural or boho-chic style. The attribution to Axel Enthoven is clearly reflected in the harmonious balance between aesthetics and functionality, between attention to artisanal detail and a modernist design vision, in perfect harmony with the evolutionary spirit of European design in the 1970s. The sober but calibrated shapes, the exclusive use of natural materials, and the rigor in the proportions are distinctive features of the work of the famous Belgian designer. This attribution is reinforced by an important element of provenance: the piece comes from the same private residence where a table and chairs by Axel Enthoven were present, thus helping to confirm the origin of the piece and its stylistic consistency with the surrounding furnishings. The entire furnishings testified to a refined and cultured taste, perfectly aligned with Enthoven's design language, in which the connection between man, object, and nature was central. This chest of drawers/storage unit is therefore not only a functional and decorative piece of furniture, but also a tangible expression of an organic design philosophy, deeply linked to the identity and culture of Belgian design in the second half of the 20th century.
