Beautiful Women Design by Marcel Wanders Beautiful Women by Marcel Wanders signals the return of a type of furniture that has all but disappeared. The series consists of a mirror with a richly decorated frame and a glass shelf, a small dresser in two variations, a stool and side table. ‘Elle Decoration’ selected ‘Ken Stool’ as ‘Future Classic’. The sober dresser features a sunken top and cast brass handles in the shape of an apple and a snake, a reference to the first woman. The more baroque cabinet features a spherical, massive wooden foot on which a top has been fitted. The stool and its side table version, with its graphic design and round forms, refer to the 1960s. The series is a post-modern ensemble intended as a tribute to womankind. Beautiful Women Product Information vdec016
