Modular Chest of Drawers with Extension, ÚLUV (Krásná Jizba), 1960s, Czechoslovakia

This modular chest of drawers with extension was produced by ÚLUV as part of the Krásná Jizba program in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s. It reflects the rational, functional approach of mid-century Czech design, combining storage efficiency with restrained proportions.

The set is made of veneered solid wood and consists of a lower chest with drawers and doors, complemented by an upper extension with internal and external shelving. The construction is solid, with healthy wood and stable joints, and the original manufacturer’s label is preserved.

The piece remains in very good original vintage condition, showing only minor surface wear consistent with age. Sold as a complete set, it can be used immediately and works well as storage in living, dining, or work interiors.
