In the ever-evolving world of contemporary interiors, storage furniture such as chest of drawers and trolleys must go beyond mere practicality. They must adapt to modern lifestyles, serve as versatile design elements, and reflect the aesthetic values of a well-curated home. This is where LAGO Design excels. As a pioneer of Made in Italy design, LAGO transforms everyday furniture pieces into architectural icons that integrate seamlessly into living spaces, bedrooms, offices, and hospitality environments.
LAGO’s chest of drawers and trolleys are not just storage units—they are sculptural elements that float, blend, or contrast within their environment depending on the composition. Perfect for storing clothes, documents, accessories, or media items, these pieces reflect the brand’s core values: minimalism, material innovation, and modular thinking.
The Product and Materials
LAGO’s chests of drawers and trolleys are part of the brand’s greater philosophy of “weightless design” and architectural flexibility. These pieces stand out for their ability to blend visual lightness with robust construction and intelligent storage solutions. Whether placed in a bedroom, entryway, home office, or hotel suite, they perform a dual function: utilitarian organization and expressive design statement.
The chest of drawers collections—like 36e8 Dresser, Et Voilà, and Air Chest—are based on LAGO’s core modular logic, allowing for custom dimensions and aesthetic configurations. Available in wall-mounted or floor-standing versions, they can be composed of:
Lacquered or lacquered glass fronts for a bold or monochrome aesthetic
XGlass finishes that simulate marble, fabric, metal, or wood textures on glass surfaces
Wildwood tops for tactile contrast and warmth
Push-pull or handle-less drawers for a clean visual line
The drawers are built with precision-engineered hardware to ensure silent, smooth operation over time. Internally, the compartments are optimized to provide maximum usability with minimal visual noise.
LAGO’s trolleys—such as the Et Voilà Trolley and 36e8 compositions on wheels—are the perfect blend of agility and design coherence. Ideal for hospitality, kitchen, or workspaces, these pieces offer:
Multi-tiered surfaces
Elegant, hidden castors
Optional power access for devices
Durable, easy-to-clean surfaces like XGlass or lacquered glass
The mobile nature of these trolleys makes them essential for flexible environments, where furniture must follow the rhythm of the user without sacrificing design cohesion.
LAGO prioritizes both aesthetic innovation and material performance. The materials used in their chest of drawers and trolleys include:
XGlass: Digitally printed onto tempered glass to reproduce fine materials such as Calacatta marble, aged metal, textile textures, or smoked wood
Wildwood: Thermally treated aged oak exclusive to LAGO, rich in grain and warm tones
Lacquered Glass: Available in a palette of over 30 colors in matte or glossy finishes
FSC-Certified Wood and eco-friendly lacquers for sustainable elegance
These materials not only create visual richness but also provide scratch resistance, durability, and ease of cleaning—essentials in high-use furniture.

The Design
Design is not just about form for LAGO—it’s about experience, emotion, and space transformation. The brand’s approach to designing chest of drawers and trolleys involves more than creating stylish furniture; it’s about enhancing the user’s daily rituals through thoughtful spatial solutions.
LAGO pioneered the concept of floating furniture with its iconic Air collection, and this idea extends into its chest of drawers and trolleys. By using transparent supports or wall-mounted systems, LAGO creates the illusion of suspended volumes that contribute to a sense of openness and fluidity.
The brand’s 36e8 system, based on a unique square module, allows for infinite variations in dimension, form, and finish—perfect for designing drawer units that can fit any space, from narrow corridors to expansive bedrooms.
Thanks to the broad material palette and compositional freedom, LAGO chest of drawers can look:
Ultra-modern with matte black glass and bronze XGlass
Warm and natural with Wildwood oak tops and soft pastel fronts
Minimalist with monochrome matte finishes and seamless corners
This stylistic adaptability means the same collection can suit Scandinavian, industrial, bohemian, or luxury interiors depending on the configuration.
LAGO designs every drawer, trolley, and storage solution with daily life in mind. Considerations include:
Soft-close mechanisms
Handle-less push systems
Rounded corners for safety
Hidden compartments
Fully extendable drawers for better access
These thoughtful additions make LAGO furniture a pleasure to use, not just to look at.
