Storet, the story of a chest of drawers
“Congratulations Nanda”, wrote Lodovico Acerbis to Nanda Vigo in April 1994, after the success of the Storet chest of drawers, presented for the first time at the Salone del Mobile. A chest of drawers with a simple vertical structure, yet bold and transgressive in character thanks to the contrast between the clean lines of its frame and the mouldings of the glossy lacquered drawers.
