Here is from Catalan designer Jordi Casablancas, a rare dresser-wardrobe in beech wood manufactured by “Mobles i Decoració Casablancas” in Spain in the late 1960’s.
This architectural Spanish case piece features two large doors with vibrant vertical grain details revealing a wardrobe-coat rack area on its right and a set of three storage cubbies on its left.
The lower ens of the dresser sports two dove tail built drawers with an horizontal wood grain contrasting with its upper doors.
All doors and drawers have leather pulls.
This piece is in its original vintage condition with very minimal age appropriate patina-wear.
Measurements: 90cmWx55cmDx150cmH
Jordi Casablancas was part of the generation that sought to modernize Spanish furniture by incorporating principles of Scandinavian design and the modern movement, but without losing the link with natural materials and craft techniques.
This cabinet represents their quest very well: modernity with local roots. It features an elegant functional and refined language that is characteristic.
In addition to furniture, Casablancas also designed some interiors and participated in the dissemination and teaching of design as a teacher at various universities and as a member of the FAD (Promotion of Decorative Arts). Some of his most outstanding designs are the S 6 chair (1966), the S 5 armchair (1979) and the changing table (1970).
