About the Item

This charming Swedish trompe-l’œil commode is a masterpiece of both design and functionality. Painted with a faux wood patina, it cleverly mimics the appearance of a traditional three-drawer chest while hiding a practical secret—a pull-out trundle bed. Likely designed as a child’s bed, it extends to a depth of 152 cm when unfolded, offering a smart space-saving solution. In smaller homes of the time, multifunctional furniture was essential, and this piece embodies that ingenuity. By day, it serves as an elegant commode, allowing objects to be placed on its surface without sacrificing aesthetics. By night, it transforms effortlessly into a cozy sleeping space. A perfect blend of practicality and vintage charm, this unique piece brings history, character, and versatility to any interior.
