Reason why we love it, design details:
The lines on this baby are the sleekest!
While he reminds us of pieces we’ve seen attributed to the iconic Franco-American industrial designer Raymond Loewy for Mengel Furniture, Loewy or not, this darling has captured our hearts.
The structure of the piece frames the drawer fronts and a 1+cm. gap reveals a recessed body that the drawers sit in.
The shadow of the gap juxtaposed with the outer frame is a dynamic duo that we could stare for days! And the tippy-toe legs planted firmly on the ground are just the cherry-on-top.
The waves in the Oak’s wood grain are also a win in our book :)
