Vintage pine chest of drawers by Ate van Apeldoorn – Houtwerk Hattem 

Beautiful vintage chest of drawers designed by Ate van Apeldoorn and produced in his own workshop Houtwerk Hattem in the 1970s. Crafted from solid pine, this piece showcases the characteristic craftsmanship of Apeldoorn’s work. The construction features visible finger joints (box joints), emphasizing both strength and design. The clean lines and honest use of materials reflect a minimalist and functional aesthetic. Over the years, the cabinet has developed a lovely lived-in patina, giving it warmth and character. A versatile piece, perfect as a bedside table, side cabinet, or compact storage unit. The chest is in good vintage condition with visible signs of use consistent with its age (see photos).
