Tura, known for his experimental approach to surfaces, elevates the natural qualities of the parchment, creating a deep, mottled effect with shades ranging from dark brown to amber. The variations in color and texture shift depending on the light, giving the piece a dynamic presence. The polished metal plinth contrasts with the organic surface, making the sideboard appear to float. This balance between rich materials and clean, modern lines is characteristic of Tura’s work. The push-to-open doors maintain the minimalist aesthetic, leading to a well-preserved wooden interior with glass shelving. In almost perfect condition, this sideboard has been remarkably well maintained, with only minor signs of age. It stands as a strong example of Tura’s craftsmanship, where material experimentation meets functional design. A statement piece that is both subtle and striking, it rewards close attention with its interplay of texture, sheen, and form. The piece is very rare and it is a limited edition.
