The body is made of richly toned wood in excellent condition, with a subtle curve along the corners and a raised lip on top that gives it the feel of a classical Riva boat gliding over Lake Como. The front is composed of ten vertical black panels, each ribbed and alternating with strips of warm wood, giving rhythm and depth to the design. Brass key pulls add a quiet touch of precision. It’s a piece that’s both graceful and practical, clearly made with care—and made to last. Paolo Buffa (1903–1970) was a Milanese architect and designer known for refined neoclassical furniture.
