It was a design that was never carried out. The walls were imagined as plated in Indian rosewood, whose strongly visible fibres match the configurations shown in the studio sketches made by the designer. The frame band of the outside front is lined with modular elements in solid wood which, in various sizes, seem interwoven in orthogonal directions, making the buffet vibrate strongly with reflected light. The overall plan is also distinguished by the tray placed at the base, on which the cabinet with its two supporting leg-walls seems to rest.
