A landmark example of 1970s italian architectural furniture, the piece features the collection’s signature bridge-like structure, strict horizontality and sculptural monumentality. Crafted from a rich combination of burlwood, walnut, ebony and leather, the high-gloss lacquered top and sides emphasize the depth of the burl veneer, while the leather-clad doors soften the geometry with warm texture. The structural side panels lift the long storage volume into a floating visual presence. Inside, generous concealed compartments preserve the purity of the exterior form. A true collector-grade icon of postwar italian design. Very good vintage condition with minor age-appropriate wear. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
designer records,
