A refined and architectural mid-century chest of drawers by Uniflex, designed by Günther Hoffstead, whose work is celebrated for its clean lines, understated detailing and intelligent proportions.

This piece exemplifies Hoffstead’s restrained modernism: a tall, elegant silhouette raised on sculptural sled legs, with beautifully integrated oval drawer pulls carved directly into the solid fronts. The design balances visual weight and lightness effortlessly, giving the chest a calm, confident presence that works equally well in contemporary and period interiors.

The drawers are generously proportioned and smoothly running, offering excellent practical storage while maintaining a minimal, uncluttered façade. The subtly chamfered edges and precise joinery speak to Uniflex’s reputation for high-quality British manufacturing during the golden age of mid-century design.

Finish & Condition

The original finish had suffered significant wear over time and has therefore been professionally refinished. The piece is now presented in a rich, dark brown tone, chosen to enhance the natural grain of the wood while giving the chest a deeper, more sophisticated character. The result is a refined, cohesive finish that complements the strong architectural lines of the design.

Overall condition is excellent, with only light, age-appropriate signs of use remaining.
