Rolling shutter cabinet

This piece of furniture is a rolling shutter archive, typically used in offices or professional studios between the 1940s and 1960s, but with a shape that places it more precisely around the 1950s.

Features:
• Material: solid wood (probably oak or teak), with a natural finish that highlights the grain.
• Rolling shutter: the typical roller shutter closure in sliding horizontal slats, which opens by sliding upwards, very common in mid-century archive furniture.
• Structure: compact and tall, with full feet slightly recessed at the base.
• Upper drawer with recessed handle, a functional and sober detail, consistent with the modernist design of the period.

Period:

This type of furniture is placed in the European or American production of the 1950s, an era in which functionality and clean lines became central to the design. The rolling shutter was appreciated because it allowed access to documents without the need for protruding doors, making it perfect for rational and tidy work environments.

Possible uses today:

Perfect as a storage unit in a home office, in an entrance or even in the kitchen, for those looking for a sober and functional vintage touch.
