This outstanding cabinet is a design by Taichiro Nakai, manufactured by La Permanente Mobili in Italy around 1960.
Made of high quality teak wood in a warm brown colour on a thin, tubular black metal base. The finish of the many elements is truly impressive and shows great craftsmanship. The piece reveals a lot of storage capacity behind the different doors, drop down doors and drawers. It has wooden shelves and a few glass (showcase) shelves as well. The doors have a beautiful relief which adds a sense of luxury to the piece. The black metal base has a beautiful triangle structure holding the cabinet. Brass details in the locks and keys are the perfect finish to this elegant design.
Originally designed for the “Selettiva del Mobile” in Cantù, Italy, this piece was designed with Italian influences while also showcasing elements Nakai’s Japanese background. A fantastic find that has deserved it’s spot in mid-century design history!
It remains in very good, vintage condition with minor wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina.
