About the Item

A stunning piece that encapsulates the sophistication and strength of 1970s Italian design, signed by the skilled hand of Poggioli. This extraordinary item of furniture stands out immediately for its perfect balance between geometric rigor and decorative elegance. It captivates at first glance with its magnificent elm burl veneer, polished to a mirror finish, which highlights the wood's natural grain, offering warm, deep reflections that shift with the light. Adding further value to the piece are the bold vertical and horizontal bands in solid brass-true golden lines that cross the structure, creating a refined and contemporary visual rhythm. This detail not only enhances the aesthetic, but also lends solidity and presence to the piece, making it a focal point in any setting. Functionality is cleverly and discreetly designed: the top section features a series of low, deep drawers ideal for small objects or documents, while the lower section alternates four spacious drawers with a cabinet door concealing internal shelving-perfect for storing larger items. Every detail has been crafted with the utmost care, from the square recessed metal handles to the interiors, made with the same artisanal precision that defines the entire piece. Testifying to the authenticity and quality of this cabinet is the "Poggioli" signature, hand-engraved on the top surface-an indelible mark of Italian craftsmanship and tradition from that era. A piece destined for those seeking a unique furnishing element that perfectly combines aesthetics and functionality-ideal for enhancing a living room, study, or character-filled bedroom. The cabinet is in excellent vintage condition, with its glossy finish perfectly preserved and only minimal signs of wear consistent with age.

Pressed Bamboo Chest of Drawers by Southern Nurseries, 1970
By Vivai del Sud
Located in Conversano, IT
Exceptional four-drawer chest by Vivai del Sud, the iconic Italian atelier known for its use of natural materials and a refined, exotic style, particularly active between the 1960s and 1980s. This piece perfectly embodies the brand's sophisticated and Mediterranean aesthetic. The structure is entirely clad in pressed bamboo arranged in a herringbone pattern, a detail that adds visual rhythm and depth to the surface. The geometric motif extends seamlessly across all visible sides--front, top, and sides--showingcasing outstanding craftsmanship. The four drawers, equal in height, run on wooden glides and are fitted with pairs of patinated brass knobs. The cylindrical handles add an elegant and discreet accent that doesn't disrupt the harmony of the overall design. The chest is in excellent structural condition, with a warm and natural patina that highlights the quality of the material and its age. Minor traces of wear may be present, consistent with the piece's authenticity and history. A highly characterful piece, ideal for both modernist interiors and boho-chic, tropical, or eclectic settings. A rare example of Vivai del Sud's production, increasingly sought after by collectors and lovers of 20th-century Italian design.
