Description: This expertly refinished mid-century modern highboy dresser by John Van Koert for Drexel’s “Projection” line showcases the designer’s distinctive balance of sculptural form and practical innovation. Crafted in walnut, the piece features a clean vertical silhouette accented by softly rounded case edges, sleek aluminum pulls, and elegantly tapered legs that give it a refined, architectural presence. The upper drop-down compartment opens to reveal a hidden vanity mirror and fitted interior organizers, offering a thoughtful multifunctional design that was ahead of its time. Below, three spacious drawers provide ample storage, with smooth operation and a beautifully restored surface that highlights the warm tone and natural grain of the walnut throughout. Both visually striking and highly usable, this mid-century modern highboy dresser embodies the sophisticated ingenuity that made the “Projection” line one of Drexel’s most celebrated mid-century collections.
Fun Historical Fact
The “Projection” line by John Van Koert for Drexel was introduced in the early 1960s as part of a new wave of American furniture that blended modern styling with multifunctional living. Van Koert, who was born in Holland, brought a distinctly European sense of proportion and innovation to his designs, often incorporating hidden features and architectural detailing. Drexel marketed the collection to a younger, design-conscious generation that wanted furniture to feel streamlined, practical, and modern. Today, pieces from the “Projection” line are especially admired for their clever use of space and understated sculptural beauty, making them highly collectible among mid-century enthusiasts.
