Italian term
vani
Italian to English
Tech/Engineering
Furniture / Household Appliances
Initially I thought 'vani' should be translated as 'cabinet' - however, these different examples suggest I'm wrong!
- Letto in rovere o ciliegio con vani contenitori laterali, inserti alluminio satinato, testata in legno e pelle stampata o tutto legno.
-Mobile tv, quattro vani, due porte, in rovere o ciliegio, gambe in alluminio satinato.
- Libreria girevole in rovere o ciliegio. Finitura foto rovere antracite.
Dimensioni: L. 51 P. 51 H. 73
Dimensioni vani: H. 30 P. 24
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance!
