Finding the Right Storage-case-pieces for You
Of all the vintage storage cabinets and antique case pieces that have become popular in modern interiors over the years, dressers, credenzas and cabinets have long been home staples, perfect for routine storage or protection of personal items.
In the mid-19th century, cabinetmakers would mimic styles originating in the Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI eras for their dressers, bookshelves and other structures, and, later, simpler, streamlined wood designs allowed these “case pieces” or “case goods” — any furnishing that is unupholstered and has some semblance of a storage component — to blend into the background of any interior.
Mid-century modern furniture enthusiasts will cite the tall modular wall units crafted in teak and other sought-after woods of the era by the likes of George Nelson, Poul Cadovius and Finn Juhl. For these highly customizable furnishings, designers of the day delivered an alternative to big, heavy bookcases by considering the use of space — and, in particular, walls — in new and innovative ways. Mid-century modern credenzas, which, long and low, evolved from tables that were built as early as the 14th century in Italy, typically have no legs or very short legs and have grown in popularity as an alluring storage option over time.
Although the name immediately invokes images of clothing, dressers were initially created in Europe for a much different purpose. This furnishing was initially a flat-surfaced, low-profile side table equipped with a few drawers — a common fixture used to dress and prepare meats in English kitchens throughout the Tudor period. The drawers served as perfect utensil storage. It wasn’t until the design made its way to North America that it became enlarged and equipped with enough space to hold clothing and cosmetics. The very history of case pieces is a testament to their versatility and well-earned place in any room.
In the spirit of positioning your case goods center stage, decluttering can now be design-minded.
A contemporary case piece with open shelving and painted wood details can prove functional as a storage unit as easily as it can a room divider. Alternatively, apothecary cabinets are charming case goods similar in size to early dressers or commodes but with uniquely sized shelving and (often numerous) drawers.
Whether you’re seeking a playful sideboard that features colored glass and metal details, an antique Italian hand-carved storage cabinet or a glass-door vitrine to store and show off your collectibles, there are options for you on 1stDibs.

- What is an example of wabi-sabi?2 Answers1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Wabi-sabi is the practice of finding the beauty in imperfections. Examples include flowers growing through cracks in the ground, or a broken ceramic bowl made whole again with its imperfections showing through. You’ll find a variety of wabi-sabi pieces from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022One important aspect of wabi-sabi is the beauty in imperfect things, so a good example of wabi-sabi would be asymmetrical or even crude vessels and furniture. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of wabi-sabi furniture and other objects from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023The primary principle of Wabi-Sabi is to appreciate the imperfections found in nature. As a result, Wabi-Sabi emphasizes asymmetry, roughness, simplicity and the use of natural materials and finishes. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of pieces based on Wabi-Sabi principles.
- What is wabi-sabi pottery?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Wabi-sabi pottery refers to earthenware vessels that embody the principles of a Japanese philosophy called wabi-sabi. Proponents of the idea believe that household objects should emphasize function over form, so that they satisfy needs but do not cause people to attach too much meaning to worldly possessions. There is also a focus on finding the beauty in imperfection and simplicity. On 1stDibs, find a collection of wabi-sabi pottery.
- Is Wabi-sabi a design style?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023Wabi-sabi is technically not a design style, but it has influenced design. The term Wabi-sabi refers to a philosophy that emphasizes accepting imperfection and celebrating the impermanent beauty of nature. This concept has inspired many interior design trends, such as using organic and sustainable materials, selecting upcycled and repurposed pieces and integrating furniture and decorative objects that are unfinished, unpolished and unglazed. Shop a collection of pieces inspired by Wabi-sabi on 1stDibs.
