BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED IN EXCELLENT CONDITION
COLLECTIBLE ITEM

LOVE THIS PIECE and I'm sad to let it go, but I am moving and I do not have space for it. It is beautifully restored and truly a unique piece. Everything is in pristine condition and it is a useable, collectible piece.

This anthropomorphic William Hinn for Urban Furniture 'Exoskeleton' highboy dresser was originally crafted in the 1950s in Sweden, is stamped (signed) on the back, and has just completed full restoration. We finished this beautiful dresser in a deep French Polish lacquer - which is an expensive and labor intensive process but the results are nothing short of amazing.

The deep smooth finish from the French Polish gives a liquid-like appearance making the gorgeous wood grain pop like none other. The deep color combined with vibrant walnut wood grain - you would think this was Jacaranda or Cocobolo Rosewood. The French Polish is so thick that this dresser is impervious to regular use so it will continue looking this incredible for many, many years to come.

The sculptural design of this dresser features a skeletal like frame which curves into the legs giving the curved drawers a floating appearance, which has prompted dealers to call this line the 'Exoskeleton' collection. Such personality too - the top cabinet has two doors and three interior cubby spaces which appears to be the head of this anthropomorphic piece. The four legs are sculpted like bone which resemble an animal.... or perhaps this is more akin to a robot? Whichever it is, it will surely ignite your creative fluid which is yet another reason to buy this rare and sought-after collectors set before someone else does.

This restored William Hinn for Urban Furniture anthropomorphic 'Exoskeleton' high boy chest of drawers from 1950s Sweden would work great in a mid-century modern, scandinavian or danish modern, or American modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a contemporary, hollywood regency or post-modern room. Also consider mixing it up in a traditional, classical or art deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. This dresser could also work as a credenza, sideboard with hutch or buffet cabinet and would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge, members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office.

William Hinn "Exoskeleton" 1950s Dresser

Natural

This was a made-to-order item from Kalon Studios. If you are looking for the Caravan dresser in White Oak in a shorter timeline than theirs (3+ months) then you have found the right place. This dresser is in perfect condition and if you are planning on having a child, I also have the changing table tray that goes with this (unused). It's a unique and beautifully-crafted dresser.

An embrace of form following function, the Caravan Dresser features roomy drawers and rounded drawer pull designs integrated seamlessly into the piece. Constructed from solid White Oak, which is then hand-rubbed and finished with a premium organic oil/wax finish. 

A perfect marriage of beauty and utility, the Caravan Collection is beloved for its classic forms and versatility. Impeccably crafted from time-tested natural materials, each piece is thoughtfully designed with a commitment to sustainability.
