The "D'Antibes" cabinet was designed by George Sowden (UK), one of the early members of the Memphis collective and husband to Nathalie du Pasquier (thus explaining her influence, vis-a-vis the silkscreened decorations on the cabinet's sides.
 
George early on thought of it as a medicine cabinet, an apothecary vitrine or just a small bookcase.
 
In my first great apartment on the Detroit River, it was my towel cabinet in the Master Bath!! Sure woke me up in the morning!!!
