About the Item
Sculpturalist or Brutalist Chunky Angular Carved Walnut Chests, set of 3
An unusual set of three Sculpturalist or Brutalist style angular carved walnut chests. The carved and textured face of each piece creates a stunning look for home or office. The three chests can be combined to create one long credenza. They can also be used individually, or as a pair and a single.
Each piece has three drawers The drawer pulls are cleverly recessed along the side edges to create a seamless look. The chests are unmarked, and are in very good original vintage condition.
In terms of shapes and forms, Brutalist design is either organic – with rough and unpolished textures – or extremely minimal and streamlined, focusing on function more than anything else. Sturdy and geometrically shaped furniture pieces are made from raw concrete, steel, and wood, providing an industrial charm for any space.
The key elements of Brutalism include:
- Blocky, heavy appearance
- Simple, graphic lines
- Lack of ornamentation
- Utilitarian feel
- Monochromatic palette
- Use of raw, exposed concrete (and sometimes brick) exteriors
