About the Item

This stunning tall French cabinet was designed by architect and furniture designer Jean-Louis Godivier in the 1980s. It features a design reminiscent of a towering skyscraper, making it an actual standout piece. The cabinet features three doors, each with three spacious compartments inside for ample storage space. The cabinet's unique curvature is thicker on the lower side and tapers to a thinner top, adding to its overall elegant appearance. The solid wood square handles add a touch of sophistication to the piece, while the two triangular bases provide a sturdy foundation. The metal base extends all the way through the back, creating an angular shape that highlights the designer's attention to detail. This cabinet is truly one-of-a-kind and embodies the bold and eclectic style of the Memphis era. Anyone who appreciates unique and striking furniture will fall in love with this piece at first sight. Jean-Louis Godivier was a French architect and furniture designer who was known for his unique and innovative designs that combined elements of French furniture with modern aesthetics. Godivier began his career as an architect, but he soon shifted his focus to furniture design, creating pieces that were both functional and sculptural. His work was characterized by clean lines, geometric shapes, and a minimalist sensibility that was ahead of its time. Godivier's furniture designs were highly sought after by collectors and are still highly regarded today for their timeless elegance and beauty. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you purchase vintage furniture from Danish Modern NoHo, you're not just acquiring a unique piece; you're also gaining access to our expert restoration services.
