Design belief with drawers, Cantù furniture permanent consortium
This Mid-Century Modern wooden chest of drawers, created by the Cantù Furniture Consortium, Italy, in the 1960s, is an extraordinary example of Italian craftsmanship of the period. The chest of drawers is made of solid walnut, which gives it a warm and rich tone and magnificently reflects the quality of the materials used by one of the most respected Italian furniture producers.
The piece has seven solid walnut drawers, each with an elegant front in white ant, creating an attractive contrast between wood and modern material. In addition to the drawers, there is a large and welcoming limelight drawing that adds further storage space and a touch of functionality. The chest of drawers is veneered in high quality zebra, a surprising wood that adds consistency and depth to the general design.
The iron and brass legs provide a robust but elegant base, perfectly completing the refined processing of the wood. Overall, this Cassapanca embodies the ethics of Italian design of the 60s, combining clean lines, functional storage space and timeless beauty.
Completely restored to its original conditions, the piece is in excellent condition with only mild signs of wear and age, which makes it a rare and well preserved example of modern mid -century Italian furnishings.
