The Annabella chest of drawers, with four drawers, is entirely made of pine wood. It was designed by the Italian artist Mario Ceroli as part of the Mobili nella Valle series and produced by Poltronova in the late 1970s. It presents a solid and also ethereal structure that can suit every space bringing them a classic and sophisticated aura, it's perfect for living rooms, halls, and bedrooms. The name Annabella was inspired by the main character of the film titled 'Addio Fratello Crudele' directed by Giuseppe Patroni Griffi and for which Ceroli curated the scenography.

He used these materials to create silhouetted shapes in his furniture and objects that related simplistically to the surrounding space.
