The Taichiro Nakai Wall Cabinet, crafted by La Permanente Mobili Cantù in Italy circa 1955, measures 255.5 cm wide, 43 cm deep, and 166.5 cm high, showcasing a mid-century modern design that blends Japanese and Italian influences. Supported by a black coated steel zig-zag frame, the cabinet features a warm teak structure with a vertical decorative finish on the doors, accented by large black handles, glass tops, and brass details. The deep teak tone contrasts strikingly with the black metal, reflecting Nakai’s signature style of simple, clean lines with an energetic, organic feel, reminiscent of Franco Albini’s bookcases but infused with Japanese geometric simplicity.
Taichiro Nakai, a celebrated Japanese designer, gained recognition at the 1955 Selettiva del Mobili competition in Cantù, where he won a special prize alongside Ilmari Tapiovaara and Eugenia Alberti Reggio, judged by luminaries like Gio Ponti and Alvar Aalto. In good condition with minor wear, this cabinet is a rare collector’s piece, perfect for modern interiors seeking a blend of mid-century elegance and cross-cultural design innovation.
