U-450 Cabinet in Oak by Jiří Jiroutek for Interiér Praha, Czechoslovakia, 1960s
We offer this redesigned cabinet by noted Czech designer Jiří Jiroutek for the state enterprise Interiér Praha. This specific piece was manufactured in Plant No. 11 in Třešť and features lacquered doors in pastel pink and cream, combined with an oak veneered body and drawers.
These cabinets are generally an icon of Czechoslovak post-war furniture design. They blends practicality with modernist aesthetics – featuring angled sides, tapered legs, and asymmetrical layout. The upper section consists of two lockable compartments, while the lower half has a shelved cabinet on the left and a column of four drawers on the right.
The cabinet has been fully renovated, a production label with model number, factory details, and pricing in Czechoslovak crowns is preserved on the back.
