as early as the 1960's, the italian company gufram began designing whimsical, funky pieces, the kind that throw off your entire space, but in a good way...
and how fun is that bottom wardrobe cabinet with the globe inset? really just perfect in a children's room, or a library, or a classroom as a storage cabinet. companies like gufram show that a bit of quirky can be functional, fun, and serve as a wow piece, that unexpected piece that throws everything off, but in a good way. enjoy!
