Tura—one of Italy’s most distinctive mid-century designers, celebrated for his unconventional use of goatskin, parchment, and high-gloss lacquers—elevated everyday forms through meticulous craftsmanship, and this two-drawer piece is no exception. The goatskin surface, lacquered to a soft sheen, reveals natural tonal variations throughout, hallmark traits of Tura’s hand-selected hides. Rounded corners and a recessed plinth base give the silhouette architectural weight, while the dual drawers are set within seamless fronts that maintain the purity of its form. Retaining its original Aldo Tura maker’s mark, the nightstand is a richly atmospheric accent beside a bed, sofa, or reading chair—an iconic example of Tura’s luxurious, material-forward vision. Sold and priced individually. Condition: Very good vintage condition. The lacquered goatskin surface shows natural tonal variation, faint markings, and small imperfections typical of Tura’s parchment finish. Light cracking and subtle lifting are present along a few edges and corners, consistent with age and material. One surface displays a medium scuff. The drawers slide smoothly. Minor wear to the plinth base. Retains its original Aldo Tura maker’s mark on the reverse. See less
