Cassina 636 Elling Buffet Cabinet

Cassina 636 Elling Buffet cabinet, designed by Gerrit Thomas Rietveld, represents the essence of the new spatial concept of neoplasticism.

This sideboard, designed in 1919, was originally used in various interior design projects. The original model was destroyed in a fire and was only rebuilt under the supervision of the designer in 1951 for an exhibition.

Today, Cassina produces this storage unit for the first time in its historic carpentry in Meda, in collaboration with the designer’s heirs. The pure lines of the structure create a grid based on a structural core to which surfaces, drawers and storage units are added. The supporting grid, virtually continuous, has contrasting sections of slats that exalt their dynamism towards the exterior.
