Rare and fascinating example of an organic design of the 70s, this storage trunk in rattan and bamboo, attributed to the Belgian designer Axel Enthoven, combines functionality and natural beauty with a sophisticated simplicity typical of the European modernist design of the time. Made entirely with natural materials, it has a solid bamboo structure and rattan woven by hand with great skill. The clean lines and balanced proportions reflect the approach "Less is more", while offering a strong decorative presence. The warm and enveloping texture of the intertwined rattan makes this piece ideal for both internal and external spaces covered, thanks to its versatility of use. The piece opens completely in the upper part, revealing a large storage compartment, perfect for storing cushions, blankets, linen, magazines or even garden accessories. It can be used as an outdoor trunk, such as the veranda storage bench, as a trunk in the entrance or as an original accessory in a bedroom or in a living room with a natural or boho-chic style. The attribution to Axel Enthoven is clearly reflected in the harmonious balance between aesthetics and functionality, between attention to artisan detail and modernist design vision, in perfect harmony with the evolutionary spirit of the European design of the 70s. The sober but calibrated shapes, the exclusive use of natural materials and the rigor in the proportions are distinctive features of the work of the famous Belgian designer. This attribution is strengthened by an important element of origin: the piece comes from the same private residence in which a table and chairs of Axel Enthoven were present, thus contributing to confirming the origin of the piece and its stylistic consistency with the surrounding furniture.
