About the Item

The body and base have been fully refinished: wood structure sanded, primed, and painted in a bright white lacquer that revives the crisp contrast so loved in the Chapter One line. The two drawer fronts are original molded plastic in dark lime green, their injection-formed curves and original texture preserved. The laminate top has been buffed to a high gloss, reflecting ambient light and amplifying the piece’s sculptural surfaces. Wear is minimal and respectful: the green plastic doors show some minor imperfections consistent with age, visible only under close inspection; the laminate top bears very light surface scuffing — again, only where someone might lean or set objects. Overall condition is very good, showing both testament to its vintage roots and clarity of restoration. This is more than a small bedside piece — it’s a design icon in microcosm. Its plastic mold fronts and chromed or gloss accents evoke the work of designers like Raymond Loewy, whose influence underpins much of Broyhill’s Chapter One line. The curves, gloss, and contrast make it ideal to pair with stark modern furnishings, mirrored or chrome accessories, or rooms that lean toward graphic color. Collectors drawn to landmark production furniture, futuristic plastic mold work, or anything in the rarified orbit of Space Age vintage will recognize this piece’s rarity: a well-restored original drawer front, clean structural form, and color contrast that still feels playful and confident. Well it’s 2025, and Broyhill’s Chapter One Collection is officially harder to find and more sought after than the Raymond Loewy orginals. With all due respect to Raymond Loewy, there really is something magical about the Chapter One line. Maybe they’re just more fun and approachable. Maybe it’s the proportions and practicality. Regardless, they’re one of our favourite collections of all time. The restoration team pulled no punches on this nightstand, and the end result exceeded our expectations. Every inch of the wood body and base was professionally sanded, primed and painted to match the original bright white. The laminate top and dark lime green molded plastic drawer fronts were finally buffed and polished to a glassy shine. It’s tough to see these go, but we know it will be loved. Broyhill’s Chapter one collection borrowed from the plastic mold injection designs made famous by legendary designer Raymond Loewy. Like Loewy, this Chapter One Green Nightstand employs the futuristic use of color and materials in a way that had not been seen before. The bright green plastic captures the playful spirit of the 1970s. Each cabinet is supported by a white lacquered, curved plinth base that compliments the overall form of the nightstands. Two wide drawers roll-out on metal glides that have been adjusted and oiled to allow for easy functionality, and proper spacing. These colorful, curvaceous commodes could have blended in nicely on the set of 2001 A Space Odyssey. The space-age look has never been more desirable, which may help explain the recent scarcity of all things Chapter One. Chapter One green nightstands original catalog description: Broyhill’s Chapter One is the beginning of a new era in furniture design and technology. It emphasizes the use of new materials, new shapes and new finish concepts. Chapter One uses plastic for design as well as durability. The fronts are of “Cycolac” polymer, the tops are of newly developed Pionite high gloss laminate, pedestal tulip bases of spun steel. Curved wood areas of select tupelo veneers with cabinet hardwoods are the result of advanced woodworking technology. The bright lacquer finish was especially blended for Chapter One. The House Garden colors are impregnated into the plastic so that the brilliant colors are completely through the Cycolac. All this plus the outstanding Premier features that are standard in Chapter One, make it one of the most outstanding furniture values in today’s modern market.

Vintage 1970s Raymond Loewy Style Space Age Green Chapter One Highboy Dresser
By Raymond Loewy, Broyhill
Located in Chattanooga, TN
This bold highboy dresser from the 1970s pushes the boundaries of mid-century design. Crafted under the “Chapter One” collection by Broyhill, the piece channels the visionary aesthetic of Raymond Loewy—futuristic curves, molded plastics, and a color-pop that feels more rocket-age than bedroom. The body is crisp white lacquered wood, serving as the perfect backdrop to the brilliant molded polymer drawer fronts—this version rendered in vibrant space-age green. The top is a high-gloss laminate that captures ambient light like a showroom surface, while the curved edges and flush handle details keep the profile tight and streamlined. With generous drawer volume and weighty construction, this casepiece balances sculptural form with everyday functionality. Little of the Chapter One collection remains today, making this an outstanding opportunity. Its proportions—approximately 39.5″ W × 18″ D × 43.75″ H—make it ideal for both residential and high-end interior installations. Condition is VERY GOOD: the body has been professionally refinished to preserve the original aesthetic, the polymer fronts retain their rich color and depth, and all hardware and glides perform smoothly. Whether featured as part of a curated mid-century suite or standing alone as a statement piece, this Chapter One dresser brings a rare blend of optimism, design heritage, and vibrant character to any setting. The body has been expertly refinished: the frame and plinth base stripped, sanded, primed, and painted a crisp white, while the molded plastic drawer fronts are original and rendered in vibrant green Cycolac polymer. The laminate top has been restored and polished to a glassy high-gloss shine, reinforcing that space-age aesthetic. Rounded corners soften the geometry and give the dresser a sleek, playful presence. Functionally, the drawers are generously deep, capacious enough to hold linens, folded garments, or other items with ease; build quality is solid. The plinth base provides stable support and sits cleanly close to the floor, anchoring the bold vertical form without feeling bulky. Decoratively, this dresser is more than furniture — it’s an object of personality and nostalgia. In interiors that favor bold color, graphic contrast, and mid-century innovation, it becomes a focal point. It pairs beautifully with warm woods, metallic accents, mirror surfaces, or minimalist décor to allow its form and color to shine. Broyhill’s Chapter one collection borrowed from the plastic mold injection designs made famous by legendary designer Raymond Loewy. Like Loewy, these Chapter One Dressers employ the futuristic use of color and materials in a way that had not been seen before. The bright yellow plastic captures the playful spirit of the 1970s. The dresser is supported by a lacquered plinth base with rounded corners. This colorful, curvaceous case-good could have blended in nicely on the set of 2001 A Space Odyssey. The space-age look has never been more desirable, which may help explain the recent scarcity of all things Chapter One. We also have matching pieces including two low dressers, yellow nightstand...

Raymond Loewy Inspired Yellow Chapter One Stereo Record Cabinet Broyhill Premier
By Raymond Loewy, Broyhill
Located in Chattanooga, TN
Measuring about 30 inches wide × 18 inches deep × 30 inches high, this vintage Chapter One stereo/record cabinet is compact yet charismatic, offering both storage and style. All painted wood surfaces have been professionally sanded, primed, and refinished; the formerly green doors now glow in a canary yellow lacquer that captures the playful, optimistic spirit of the 1970s. The body is a crisp white that contrasts beautifully with the yellow doors. Chrome pulls and the laminate top have been buffed to a glass-like shine, restoring both brilliance and tactile smoothness. Behind two hinged doors sits a removable/adjustable shelf, enabling flexible storage for records, media components, or barware. A discreet hole has been drilled in the back panel to allow wires to pass through and components to vent, so it works as a media cabinet or dry bar with elegance. Vintage character remains in small, affectionate details: minor surface wear under close inspection, light patina around chrome edges, subtle variation in finish that affirms origin rather than detracting. Structurally strong, doors align, pulls and hinges function smoothly. Visually this cabinet serves as more than storage—it’s a centerpiece. It suits interiors that welcome bold color and retro personality: pair with minimalist furniture so the yellow pops, or with mirrored/accented surfaces and warm woods that echo the warmth. It makes a statement in living rooms, dens, or music/entertainment corners where presence and practicality matter. For collectors who value Broyhill’s Chapter One line, restored condition, and design with both culture and function, this cabinet feels rare. It offers story, color, and utility in equal measure.
