About the Item

An extraordinary early 20th century Brutalist chest of drawers from India, discovered in an abandoned factory. Crafted from solid teak, this monumental piece embodies both raw functionality and striking sculptural form. Featuring a total of 66 drawers—33 on either side—the cabinet offers remarkable storage and visual rhythm, with its staggered drawer arrangement creating an architectural, almost kinetic façade. The warm patina of the teak speaks to decades of use, while the simple metal pulls retain the industrial character of its original setting. This one-of-a-kind cabinet bridges the line between utilitarian furniture and art object, making it as suited to a contemporary loft or gallery interior as to a collector’s study. Dimensions Height: 206 cm Width: 79 cm Depth: 63 cm A rare find with powerful presence, this Brutalist teak chest is a testament to India’s industrial design heritage and the enduring beauty of honest materials. We welcome all enquiries and ship worldwide.
