Rare Pair of Brass chests of drawers by Luigi Caccia Dominioni

Creator: Luigi Caccia Dominioni
Offered by: Vintage Domus Srl

Description
An exceptional and rare pair of LARGE chests of drawers from the 1950s designed by renowned architect Luigi Caccia Dominioni, a pivotal figure in Italian modernist design. These chests of drawers, made of high-quality walnut wood, are a testament to the architect's ability to blend geometric precision with refined detail, resulting in a sophisticated yet functional piece of furniture. Their clean lines, luxurious materials, and meticulous craftsmanship make them highly sought-after collectibles, ideal for both contemporary interiors and mid-century curated collections.
These coffers embody a minimalist and elegant design, reflecting the geometric approach characteristic of Caccia Dominioni's architectural language. The structure is linear and sculptural, with a careful balance of materials that enhances their visual appeal. The walnut wood frame lends warmth and natural sophistication, while the incorporation of glass and brass details adds a modern touch.

One of the most distinctive features of these chests of drawers is the recessed oval handle, seamlessly carved into the wooden drawer front. This elegant recess is covered with a polished brass frame, an exquisite detail that elevates the design and adds a feeling of luxury. The integration of brass not only highlights the craftsmanship, but also creates a play of texture that contrasts beautifully with the rich walnut grain. The drawers are spacious and well-proportioned, designed for aesthetic consistency and practicality.
The table top is made of dark glass, cleverly inserted into the wooden top frame to ensure a flawless transition between materials. This element serves both a functional and aesthetic function, providing a smooth, reflective surface that enhances the modern sophistication of the nightstand. The contrast between the warm tones of walnut, the elegant transparency of glass, and the bright touch of brass gives these pieces a versatile and timeless look.
With their clean, understated lines and subtle but striking details, these chests of drawers exude an aura of elegance and sophistication. Their refined aesthetic makes them perfect for modern bedrooms, where they can serve as focal points in a carefully curated interior, adding a touch of architectural integrity and luxury. In addition, their sculptural quality and rich materiality make them an excellent addition to executive offices or refined living spaces, where they help create an atmosphere of prestige and distinction.

These rare 1950s coffers by Luigi Caccia Dominioni represent the perfect fusion of the principles of mid-century modernism and excellent craftsmanship, making them an extraordinary purchase for collectors, design enthusiasts, and those who appreciate the enduring beauty of Italian craftsmanship.
