A wooden, industrial-style chest dating from the 1960s, made of solid wood in Italy, in good used condition with subtle signs of wear; dimensions 72 cm wide by 45 cm deep by 42 cm high.
Description from the seller
An attractive wooden case in industrial style, dating to the sixties, an authentic testament to a past that was practical and functional, today reinterpreted as a decor element with strong aesthetic impact.
Made entirely of solid wood, it features a sturdy structure with exposed joints at the corners, typical of transport crates of the era. The surface preserves traces of the original green paint, deliberately worn and irregular, which dialogues with the warm natural tones of the wood, creating a tactile, richly textured effect. The bronzed metal hardware, with a front closure and recessed side handles, completes the piece with a decisive and authentic character.
This object, born for practical industrial use, lends itself today to multiple reinterpretations: perfect as a coffee table, storage container, bench, or decorative element within industrial-style interiors, metropolitan lofts, or contemporary spaces seeking authenticity and character. Placed in a bright, minimalist setting, the case becomes the absolute protagonist, capable of telling a story made of material, time, and function.
Good overall condition, with signs of wear consistent with age and use, which enhance its uniqueness and authenticity.
Adequate packaging and traceable shipping across Europe.
