Story

Between the rational and the traditional

Molteni&C presents 909 as a reinterpretation of the classic chest of drawers, with a rational design that nods to tradition and a choice of materials for the top and the drawer fronts that allows distinctive customisation.

Open compartment

The page says the special configuration adds an open compartment framed in aluminium for curated objects, and the datasheet gives that compartment its own lighting.
