Description
A quintessential example of Vladimir Kagan's groundbreaking mid-century modernist vision, this rosewood chest of drawers, crafted circa 1950, combines luxurious materials with impeccable craftsmanship to form a truly iconic design. Known for his ability to blend functionality with sculptural refinement, Kagan's work continues to be celebrated for its timeless appeal and innovative approach to furniture design.

The chest features striking rosewood construction, its richly grained surface radiating warmth and depth. Rosewood, prized for its durability and natural beauty, adds an element of sophistication to the piece, making it both visually striking and highly functional. The clean-lined form reflects the elegance and simplicity characteristic of mid-century modern design, balanced against the natural complexity of the wood grain.

Complementing the rosewood are meticulously crafted brass hardware accents that bring a subtle, luxurious contrast.

The craftsmanship and choice of materials emphasize utility without compromising beauty, making this piece suitable for a variety of interior styles—be it vintage, modern, or eclectic.

This chest of drawers exemplifies Vladimir Kagan's ability to redefine furniture during the mid-20th century, with a focus on sculptural form and high-quality materials. Perfect for bedrooms, living spaces, or as a collector's centerpiece, this rare design is more than just furniture—it’s a piece of American modernist history that continues to inspire designers and collectors alike.
