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.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
