Two mid‑century modern nightstands by 3K MÖBEL, Germany, dating from circa 1960–1970, in excellent condition with cream lacquered drawer fronts and a darker wood frame, dimensions 61 cm high, 44 cm wide, 41 cm deep.
Description from the seller
This stylish piece is a vintage mid-century modern nightstand (or small chest of drawers) typical of European design from the 1960s and 1970s.
The piece has a distinctive two-tone look with cream lacquered drawer fronts, a darker wood frame, and the period's tapered, tapered legs.
Key Features
Design Era: Mid-century modern style, roughly 1960s and 1970s.
Materials: Likely wood veneer with a high-gloss finish and distinctive square wood handles.
The label identifies a piece of furniture from 3K MÖBEL, founded by German entrepreneur Karl Kübel. The sticker dates back to the 1960s and highlights several important historical facts about the manufacturer:
Brand history and technology
Manufacturer: The piece was made by Karl Kübel GmbH (later AG), based in Bensheim and Bürstadt, Germany.
“Rhenodur” plastic veneer: The label refers to the term “RHENODUR-Kunststoff-furnierte” (Rhenodur plastic veneer). This was a revolutionary synthetic veneer that was introduced in 1962. It allowed for the creation of more durable furniture that was scratch-resistant, washable and light-resistant compared to traditional wood veneers.
Design Context
Furniture from this era typically carries mid-century modern styling cues. The use of synthetic "Rhenodur" finishes often gives these vintage pieces a very clean, uniform look, mimicking the effect of rosewood or walnut without the care of real wood.
Both are in very good condition for their age, the drawers work well and are stable.
We can post it carefully packaged, in an insured, registered package.
