Chest of Drawers in Solid Hardwood, by Móveis Cimo, Brazilian Mid-Century Modern

About the Item

This chest of drawers is a classic example of mid-20th century Brazilian furniture, manufactured by Móveis Cimo. This piece embodies the aesthetic of the period with its clean lines, use of warm wood, and functional design. This chest of drawers features a rectangular shape with a flat top and four smoothly operating drawers, each fitted with a unique, curved wooden handle, that looks like a water drop. These handles are not only functional but also serve as a decorative element, adding a touch of elegance to the piece's overall simplicity. The wood is a native Brazilian hardwood, characterized by its rich, reddish hue, with a pronounced grain that enhances the visual texture of the desk. The structure of the chest of drawers is raised off the ground by two elegantly curved legs that provide support and stability while contributing to the light, airy feel of the design. The legs made of a darker wood, to provide a subtle contrast to the body of the desk. The design of the chest of drawers is minimalistic, with a focus on clean geometry and absence of unnecessary ornamentation, which aligns with the modernist design principles that were prevalent in mid-century furniture. The craftsmanship is apparent in the precise joinery and the smooth finish of the wood. About the manufacture: Móveis Cimo was known for its quality and for producing furniture that was both stylish and durable, and this night desk is likely to have been a popular item in Brazilian households during the mid-20th century. It reflects the era's design trends, where practicality and beauty were seamlessly integrated, creating pieces that were meant to be used daily while also serving as decorative elements in the home.
