“Samara” Modular Chest by Derk Jan de Vries for Maisa, Netherlands, 1970s
Product Details
Part of Derk Van Vries’s modular furniture system, this minimalist wooden chest of drawers was designed in the 1970s to be used either as a standalone piece or in combination with other matching units. Its compact size and simple geometry make it versatile — perfect as a nightstand, side table, or stacked with additional modules. The rounded corners and double-dot cut-out handles are signature details that give it a distinctive, graphic look. Hard to find and full of character, it’s a thoughtful expression of Dutch modernist design that fits effortlessly into contemporary interiors.
