About the Item

This exquisite mid-century pigeonhole cabinet, crafted by renowned German office furniture maker Dobergo Büromöbel, embodies the perfect marriage of form and function. Designed in the 1950s, it exemplifies the clean lines, minimalist aesthetic, and utilitarian elegance that define the era’s finest craftsmanship. Constructed from warm-toned oak veneer wood, this tall cabinet features 48 individual (adjustable) compartments, originally intended for sorting mail or documents—making it a rare and versatile piece with both historical and practical appeal. The vertical structure is subtly refined with delicate joinery and finely spaced shelving, all housed in a solid frame that speaks to its enduring quality. A sophisticated sliding door with working lock, key and brass handles will enhance its utility in modern interiors.
