Story
Storage with two configurations
Rather than defining one fixed drawer interior, Vitra provides two drawer arrangements and optional fittings so the same mobile pedestal can hold different work implements. The drawing records a common 420 × 600 × 530 mm envelope.
Antonio Citterio for Vitra
Vitra dates the design to 2010 and credits Antonio Citterio. The product combines the two named drawer layouts with the movement of a mobile pedestal.
