Designer: John Van Koert Manufacturer: Drexel Country: United States Materials: Walnut Period Style: Mid-Century Modern Date of Manufacturer: c.1960’s Condition: Expertly Refinished Number of Items: 1 ID Number: 10376 Dimensions: 32”H x 34”W x 21”D Description: Designed by John Van Koert for Drexel, this Mid-Century Modern “Profile” 3-drawer dresser is a crisp, architectural statement with all the right sculptural details. The warm walnut case is framed by softly rounded corner posts and a subtly floating top, giving the piece a refined, tailored silhouette from every angle. Three spacious drawers glide smoothly and feature Van Koert’s signature brass-toned pulls for a clean, elevated finish. The tapered legs keep the form light and airy, making it an easy fit for a bedroom, entry, or studio space where you want storage without visual heaviness. Expertly refinished, the walnut grain reads rich, even, and ready for daily use. Fun Historical Fact John Van Koert is best known for helping push Scandinavian-inspired modernism into mainstream American homes through his long-running collaborations with Drexel. The “Profile” and related Drexel lines are especially loved by collectors because they balance soft organic curves (those rounded corner posts) with sharp, architectural proportions—a very “modern” trick of the late-1950s/1960s era. Even the hardware is part of the design language: those streamlined pulls echo the period’s fascination with sleek industrial forms and space-age simplicity. And that Drexel stamp inside the drawer is a great provenance detail that ties the piece directly to one of America’s most recognized mid-century manufacturers.
