Chest of drawers U-453 ATYP

€ 1 486

New

Newly made chest of drawers from the U-450 series, originally designed in 1958 by Jiří Jiroutek (*1928). The atypical chest of drawers U-453 comes from the rare Universal (U-450) test series, which Jiří Jiroutek designed for the Czechoslovak national company Interiér Praha. The test series from which this cabinet comes was in production for only two years, while the standard U-450 series was produced for approximately 20 years. This unique piece was forgotten and only a few versions were produced. In restoring the production, we worked closely with designer Jiří Jiroutek, with whom we consulted on the choice of materials and all production details. The cabinet is completely handmade in the Czech Republic from solid spruce with oak veneer and semi-matt lacquer. The drawers are made of solid beech wood (originally plywood) and the base is made of solid wood. The chest of drawers is made according to the original design. Jiří Jiroutek's design is one of the symbols of the so-called Brussels style, which became popular after the success of the Czechoslovak pavilion at the Brussels Expo '58.

Chest of drawers U-453

€ 684

The chest of drawers is part of the famous Universal series (U-450) designed in 1958 by Jiří Jiroutek for the Czechoslovak national company Interiér Praha. Soon after its launch, this line of furniture in the popular Brussels style became a bestseller. It was produced for the next twenty years and several million cabinets were sold. Interest in the famous U-450 line has not waned, on the contrary, it is very popular with all generations at home and abroad. The U-453 cabinet is suitable for any room, it is compact and relatively light, so it is easy to handle. The cabinet has eight drawers in grey and yellow with black handles and a veneered (oak) finish. The base is solid spruce. We have consulted Jiří Jiroutek, from whom we also have the exclusive right to renew the production of the entire U-450 series since 2018. We have the cabinet in stock in "BEFORE RENOVATION" condition. When we refurbish it for you, you will receive a cabinet that, despite its age, is still 100% functional thanks to a careful and professional job. You don't have to worry about the quality of the transport either, we deliver the furniture in a highly durable wooden box. The cabinet you order may differ slightly from the photographs, for example in colour or veneer pattern. The difference in colour is minimal, we always follow the same procedure when renovating. You can see how we renovate old furniture in our time-lapse video. You can read more about the legend of Czechoslovak design and the most famous Czech cabinet in the article The full life and timeless ideas of Jiří Jiroutek. Restoration Packaging

The word Nanovo in Czech means something "anew", "afresh" or "again". We stumbled upon the name of our shop as we were chilling at Berlin's university in 2009. Two years later in 2011 our Nanovo shop opened. We are a shop with Czechoslovak and international post-war design, we sell and renovate furniture and we also design interiors. In 2016 we have received the Czech Grand Design Award "Shop of the Year". In 2019, we were awarded the EDIDA Award - Elle magazine award for Jiří Jiroutek's furniture reissue.
