Story
A line of storage units
Piero Lissoni designed Uni as a line of storage units with doors and drawers. The units have generous volumes and a highly geometric, structured design.
Thin fronts, lacquered colour
The doors and drawer fronts are wood bonded with aluminium to keep their thickness to a minimum. Each model is offered in lacquer, and the blade base is matt lacquered to match the main structure.
