About the Item
Chest of drawers, walnut, oak, nickel-plated brass, metal, Italy, 1930s
This chest of drawers, an Italian piece from the 1930s, presents a striking formal expression grounded in the principles of Italian Rationalism. This movement sought clarity, order, and structural logic in design. Crafted in oak, with walnut sides offering a darker tonal contrast, the chest’s silhouette is starkly rectangular, a pure geometric volume devoid of ornamental excess. The composition of the front is disciplined with nine uniformly sized drawers. The gridded structure of the drawer fronts, each protruding slightly from the frame, intensifies the architectural impression. What interrupts this rectilinear field are the round knobs, small circular gestures in nickel-plated brass. Notice how the sides extend down along the metal plinth base, accentuating the geometric complexity of the form. Their cold, metallic sheen offer a counterpoint to the warmth and grain of the wood.

1940s chest of drawers / archive cabinet by Danish cabinet maker. Oak and brass
By Arne Vodder, Børge Mogensen, Hans J. Wegner
Located in København K, 84
Mid-20th century Danish craftsmanship, one cannot overlook the exquisite elegance and sacral allure embodied within the masterful work of a 1940s Danish cabinetmaker. This archival chest, crafted with meticulous attention to detail, stands as a testament to the virtuosity and ingenuity of its creator.
Fashioned from solid, patinated oak, the cabinet exudes a sense of timeless sophistication, its rich grain and warm hues inviting contemplation. Yet, it is not merely its materiality that captivates, but rather the sacred geometry inherent in its design. The cabinet assumes a form reminiscent of a revered reliquary, its silhouette evoking the solemnity of sacred spaces.
At first glance, the cabinet presents itself with an air of modesty, its true grandeur hidden behind two brass piano-hinged front doors. These doors, adorned with a subtle sheen, offer a glimpse into the treasures concealed within. As they swing open with a gentle grace, they reveal a symphony of craftsmanship—a symphony composed of twelve meticulously crafted drawers...
