Exceptional four-drawer chest by Vivai del Sud, the iconic Italian atelier known for its use of natural materials and a refined, exotic style, particularly active between the 1960s and 1980s. This piece perfectly embodies the brand's sophisticated and Mediterranean aesthetic.
The structure is entirely clad in pressed bamboo arranged in a herringbone pattern, a detail that adds visual rhythm and depth to the surface. The geometric motif extends seamlessly across all visible sides--front, top, and sides--showingcasing outstanding craftsmanship.
The four drawers, equal in height, run on wooden glides and are fitted with pairs of patinated brass knobs. The cylindrical handles add an elegant and discreet accent that doesn't disrupt the harmony of the overall design.
The chest is in excellent structural condition, with a warm and natural patina that highlights the quality of the material and its age. Minor traces of wear may be present, consistent with the piece's authenticity and history.
A highly characterful piece, ideal for both modernist interiors and boho-chic, tropical, or eclectic settings. A rare example of Vivai del Sud's production, increasingly sought after by collectors and lovers of 20th-century Italian design.
