This French display case from the 1940s exemplifies restrained modernist design. Its rectangular structure is crafted from solid mahogany in a warm, medium brown shade with gentle red undertones, characteristic of this distinguished wood. Three transparent glass sides—front and flanks—provide comprehensive visibility for displayed objects, while the semi-matte wood finish gently reflects ambient light.

The design remains decidedly minimalist throughout, with the discreet back-opening mechanism leaving the frontal and lateral aesthetics undisturbed.

The mahogany border serves as a gentle stage, bringing a subtle shadow and warmth, while the transparent glass encases memories, objects
