About the Item

A minimalist chest of drawers in the style of Alvar Aalto, crafted from solid Finnish birch with a beautifully dark-stained finish. The piece features four generously proportioned drawers, with the upper two originally fitted with locks; the keys are missing, though replacement keys can easily be fitted or the lock changed. Exemplifying modernist functional design, this chest offers clean lines and restrained detailing, allowing the quality of the materials and craftsmanship to take center stage. Its compact yet practical design makes it ideal for storing paperwork, personal items, tools, or other small essentials, while its timeless aesthetic allows it to harmonize seamlessly with a variety of interiors, from contemporary modern and Scandinavian-inspired spaces to eclectic or even traditional settings. The chest is in good vintage condition, showing slight wear consistent with age. The surface has undergone minor refinishing in a few areas to restore a fresher, more uniform appearance, while retaining the natural character and patina of the wood. A versatile and elegant storage solution that embodies understated Scandinavian modernism
