It originally served as a "showcase" for goldsmiths, using glass, then a luxurious material, to signal the wealth of the household even before revealing its contents. Its lightweight structure, rhythmized by transparent walls and often adjustable shelves, allows for staging collections without visually cluttering the space. Today, it remains the ideal piece of furniture to bring clarity to a room while transforming your memories and curiosities into a personal and refined exhibition.
