Wicker chest of drawers by Tito Agnoli for Bonacina, 1970s

Wicker chest of drawers designed by Tito Agnoli for Bonacina in the 1970s. A furnishing piece combining the simplicity of geometric forms with the rich texture of traditional weaving, reflecting the Italian manufacturer's craftsmanship and the designer's exploration of natural materials. The rectangular, horizontally developed structure is entirely covered in woven wicker with a uniform white finish. The front features six drawers arranged in two columns and three rows, each distinguished by a regular woven pattern framed by wrapped edges and fitted with a rectangular handle. The wickerwork continues along the sides, creating visual continuity throughout the piece. The smooth, slightly overhanging top contrasts with the texture of the woven surfaces, while small square feet subtly raise the cabinet above the floor. The natural wooden drawer interiors introduce an additional material contrast, highlighting the attention to functionality and construction details. Its compact proportions, monochromatic finish and craftsmanship make this chest of drawers a representative example of 1970s Italian design, interpreting traditional materials through a restrained and contemporary aesthetic. Condition: Good overall condition, minor signs of use on the top. Dimensions: Width 101 cm – Depth 53 cm – Height 55 cm Ref.: M0890
