Chest of drawers designed by Juan Pineda for Almerich in 1991, whose design is situated between furniture and sculpture. Its most distinctive feature is the undulating silhouette of the sides, which breaks with traditional rigidity and provides a strong visual dynamism. The verticality of the piece of furniture, accentuated by its stylized proportion, reinforces its architectural presence, making it a protagonist element within the space.
Made of warm-toned wood, the piece stands out for the cleanliness of its surfaces and the discreet integration of drawers and compartments, which maintain formal continuity. The design responds to the formal exploration of the 90s, where functionality and artistic expression coexist. In the context of the firm Almerich, a Spanish company that since the 1990s has been committed to contemporary design, collaborating with external creators, this work fits as an example of experimentation and authorship within its catalog.
Juan Pineda is a Spanish designer linked to contemporary furniture design, active especially in the late twentieth century. His work is characterized by the search for expressive and organic forms, as well as experimentation with geometry and volume in functional pieces.
