This remarkable Kiaat cabinet is more than just functional storage — it is an architectural statement. Defined by its angled stance, bold proportions, and distinctive leg base, the piece embodies a cubist rhythm that is both sculptural and highly versatile.
Designed to impress from every angle, the cabinet’s front and back are equally finished, allowing it to command presence in open-plan rooms where it can be appreciated in the round. Two tiers of serving surfaces — a generous top and a stepped secondary tier — extend its utility as a bar, coffee station, or prep counter.
Beneath the striking silhouette lies a well-considered layout: two shelved cabinets hidden behind doors, a central drawer, and open shelving below. Together, these offer ample space for glasses, drinks, or essentials, balancing aesthetic boldness with everyday practicality.
Restored and sealed to highlight the rich warmth of Kiaat, this piece bridges collectible design and modern functionality — a timeless addition to any curated interior.
Condition:

Note/Disclaimer:
Our images form part of the item/s description. Although every effort is made to refurbish our furniture to represent its original state best, it must be noted that most of the items we source date from the 1950s to the late 1970s. For this reason, and although restored, signs of their vintage condition & age might still be visible. We will normally point out any visible/notable concerns. Take note of all photos or view the item in-store prior to purchasing.
As with many Mid-Century pieces, this item features a thoughtful combination of solid wood and high-quality wood veneer. Veneer has a long and respected tradition in furniture making, valued for both its aesthetic and structural benefits. When crafted with skill and applied in substantial thickness, vintage veneer proves highly durable, allowing for careful restoration, including retouching, sanding, and refinishing without compromising the integrity of the piece.
