The piece combines a strong architectural presence with a warm, material-driven sensibility, resulting in a composition that is both rigorous and inviting.

The structure is defined by a sequence of aligned modules that create a balanced horizontal rhythm, punctuated by slender vertical open compartments that lighten the overall volume and introduce a refined interplay of solids and voids. The doors showcase a lively, natural wood grain, enhanced by a restrained treatment that allows the material to take center stage, while the small cylindrical wooden knobs provide a discreet yet distinctive functional detail.

Inside, the sideboard reveals a carefully organized layout with shelves and drawers arranged according to a clear functional logic, reflecting Scarpa’s meticulous attention to use and construction. The softly rounded sides and gently eased edges highlight the almost artisanal care devoted to every structural detail, a hallmark of the collaboration between Carlo Scarpa and Bernini.

A piece of strong architectural character, suitable for both modern and more classic interiors, offering a rare balance of design rigor, material quality, and proportion.
