Modernist furniture of a singular typology, as it is a console-peana with upper showcase. Its structure responds to a truncated pyramid shape, slightly widened at the base and gently narrowing towards the top, which provides a sense of upward balance and visual lightness. The lower (cabinet) body is made up of four wooden panels, decorated in relief with floral motifs and stylized stems fully in keeping with the ornamental repertoire of Modernism. The upper section functions as a glazed showcase, divided into small panels delimited by wooden crosspieces. The whole is crowned with a projecting molding that can function as a pedestal.
