Chest of drawers designed by George Coslin in the sixties. Its essentialist prismatic design integrates a chest of drawers with five drawers, along with a module with interior shelves and central body with white sliding doors that give a chromatic counterpoint to the warmth of rosewood and beech. The handles are harmoniously integrated into the design by taking the form of discreet rectangles of wood. The cabinet stands on slightly wedge-shaped legs that stylize the unit. The overall design is elegant, with clean lines and quality woods, which give an attractive grain.

George Coslin (active 1950s-60s) was a renowned Italian-American designer of mid-century modern furniture. His work is distinguished by the creation of modular pieces, extendable tables and sideboards that combine functionality, sobriety and refined elegance. He masterfully used noble woods such as teak, achieving clean lines and harmonious compositions. He collaborated with prestigious Italian manufacturers such as 3V and Faram, consolidating his international projection.
