Originally a piece of built-in furniture made for Le Corbusier's famous Unité d'Habitation, in Marseille, this wardrobe was designed by the architect and Charlotte Perriand. The form of the distinctive oak pulls echoes a similarly shaped (but horizontally disposed) wall lamp also designed for the "Cité Radius". Via Sam Kaufman Gallery, 1st Dibs.
