Farina, lissone, italy, a manufacturer that produced functional steel furniture for hospitals and doctors' offices from the 1930s to the 1950s.

the piece showcases the combination of lacquered sheet steel and a chrome-plated tubular frame typical of this era. The clean lines, rounded edges, and understated color emphasize its functionalist character, which prioritized durability and hygiene.

the body is made of cream-colored lacquered metal, while the top shelf is edged with a narrow black trim. The structure is supported by a chrome-plated tubular frame that transitions into handles on the sides—a detail that not only creates a visually light appearance but also offered practical benefits, such as when moving the table.

a drawer with a metal knob and a cabinet compartment below with a shelf provide storage space. The a. Farina lissone stamp on the side panel indicates its origin in lissone, a northern italian furniture town near milan and a center for industrial design production in the 20th century.

condition: authentic, age-appropriate original condition with signs of wear, paint chipping, light rust, and patina on the metal parts. The chrome surfaces show dull spots and scratches, and the front exhibits discoloration and wear. Overall, a sturdy construction with a beautiful industrial character and authentic aging.
