Description
This stunning storage cabinet, with uncertain attribution but strongly influenced by the style of Hynek Gottwald, immediately captures attention with its modernist lines and perfect balance of materials and design. Created during the era of European Rationalism, around the 1930s and 1940s, this piece stands out for its burl wood construction and innovative use of tubular metal, which directly echoes the designs that defined the Bauhaus movement. While it's not certain that it is a direct work of Gottwald, many features of the cabinet, such as the refinement of the lines and the fusion of fine wood with steel, are perfectly in tune with his design language.
The burl wood, with its rich and natural grain, gives the cabinet a warm and sophisticated presence, creating a fascinating contrast with the use of chrome metal. What truly makes this piece unique is the choice not to keep the legs perpendicular to the floor but to rotate them 45 degrees. This seemingly simple detail actually reveals meticulous attention to design and a desire to break conventions. The legs, almost suspended in a balance between art and functionality, are a tribute to modernist innovation and the creative courage of the designers of the time.
The cabinet is a piece where practicality merges with bold aesthetics, offering numerous storage spaces without sacrificing elegance. Its burl wood structure, rich with warm tones, is not only decorative but also functional: the open shelves and closed compartments offer versatility for any type of use while maintaining a clean and balanced composition.
The reference to Gottwald's style is evident not only in the materials but also in the proportions and the balance between geometric shapes and fluid lines. As in his projects, this cabinet perfectly embodies the idea of blending functionality with beauty, making it not just a piece of furniture but a true work of art that tells the story of mid-century European design. Ideal for those seeking a unique piece that can be the protagonist in an elegant and refined setting, without ever feeling excessive.

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.
