This display cabinet was produced by Hynek Gottwald in the 1930s. The company was dedicated to realizing functionalist designs by leading Czechoslovak architects and designers of the pre-war modernist era. Czechoslovak functionalism combined clear functionality with the spirit of the times and the elegance of modernist aesthetics. The company’s portfolio included a wide range of high-quality furniture in the Bauhaus style.
The cabinet features a glass-fronted display section in the upper part, while the lower section offers practical storage. The chrome-plated tubular steel frame adds a sense of lightness and highlights the minimalist design language of modernism.
The riviera blue lacquer enhances the cabinet’s inviting and sophisticated character, making it a refined addition to both living and work spaces.
