The design has been attributed to Dutch architect and designer Mart Stam. The elegant vanity table features a continuous chrome-plated tubular steel frame supporting a veneered three-drawer cabinet. This cabinet case example is beautifully veneered in richly figured flame mahogany with straight-grain veneer wrapping the rounded ends and highly figured veneer bookmatched across the drawer fronts, showcasing thoughtful veneer selection and craftsmanship characteristic of high-quality Danish cabinetmaking. The sculptural tubular steel frame is graceful and functional, with sweeping curved supports creating the impression of a floating cabinet while providing strength and stability. Three drawers fitted with original chromed cylindrical pulls offer convenient storage, while the large circular adjustable mirror is suspended between polished chrome uprights with pivoting side mounts, allowing it to be positioned as desired and tightened with top knobs. The careful balance of warm figured wood, polished steel, and restrained geometric forms exemplifies the innovative furniture designs that emerged during the early years of the modernist movement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDocumentation \u0026amp; Attribution:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis Model S214 dressing table is documented in the Fritz Hansen \"FH-Staalmøbler\" (Fritz Hansen Steel Furniture) 1934 product catalog (see photo) and is listed in the archives of the Design Museum Danmark under index number RP05989.
