Consorzio Esposizione Mobili Cantù, a key institution in the history of Italian design and craftsmanship excellence.
The Cantù masters have produced furnishings designed by the greatest designers of Italian modernism, including Vittorio Dessi, Ico Parisi, Gio Ponti, and Paolo Buffa. The Consortium's stamp applied to the wood depicts a medieval-inspired scene with a workshop of carpenters and artisans at work, a symbol of Cantù's centuries-old manufacturing tradition.

This wall-mounted sideboard is crafted from fine rosewood, featuring a rich, dark, and highly contrasting grain that lends great visual warmth.
The structure features a protruding chest of drawers with five drawers with handles carved into the wood, typical of mid-century organic design.
Next comes a long linear block divided into four hinged doors with elegantly chamfered corners.
Above is a long linear shelf in Carrara marble with chamfered corners that match the lines of the rear paneling.
The entire unit is secured to an integrated wooden back panel that frames and visually connects the raised chest of drawers to the main block.

The wall mounting eliminates the need for feet, lightening the visual impact of the structure and making it an extremely modern and functional piece of furniture.

In very good overall condition, with no visible defects or obvious signs of use. A polishing would be considered to enhance the wood grain. This piece has an attribution mark,
