An unusual and authentic piece of furniture from the 1960s/70s: a Bernina Favorit 622 sewing machine built into a stylish teak veneer sewing cabinet with a sleek metal base.
The cabinet is designed to be practical and elegant: the cabinet can be completely closed to serve as a compact sideboard or side table. When in use, simply unfold the top and the sewing machine rises, creating a spacious work surface.
