Its clean lines, recessed pulls, and tapered legs give it that signature Mid-Century Modern presence—elegant, functional, and timeless all at once.

Fun Historical Fact: Merton Gershun became widely known for designing some of the most iconic American case pieces of the 1950s, including his famous “Dania” line for American of Martinsville. His designs often featured integrated pulls and bold geometric veneers, which were considered cutting-edge at the time. Pieces like this highboy helped popularize the idea that functional storage could also be a striking sculptural statement in the modern home.
