Rare Model 2031D cabinet by Giorgio Tura and Nucci Valsecchi for Tura Milano, Italy, 1970. An exceptional example of Italian design where architectural rigor meets one of the most refined parchment decoration techniques ever produced.


This extraordinary cabinet represents one of the most sophisticated expressions of Tura production. The structure, attributable to Giorgio Tura, is defined by clean volumes, controlled proportions, and a strong architectural presence.
The decorative intervention of Nucci Valsecchi transforms the surface into a structured and highly distinctive visual composition, where geometry and material interact with precision and balance.
Entirely covered in natural parchment, the cabinet showcases the signature Tura technique, characterized by deep chromatic variations and unique cloudy nuances that make each piece unrepeatable. The front develops as a continuous geometric composition in light parchment, extending across the entire length with a precise and architectural rhythm.
At the center, a perfectly balanced motif becomes the focal point of the piece, generating a refined visual tension through contrast and design precision.

Historical Context
This model embodies the Tura vision: a synthesis of design, decoration, and material experimentation. The collaboration with Nucci Valsecchi introduces a more graphic and structured decorative language, rooted in a rationalist approach yet softened by the warmth and organic nature of parchment.
Cabinets of this level, combining architectural clarity with such refined surface treatment, are extremely rare on the market and represent a significant moment in Italian design of the 1970s.
