Luciano Frigerio, sideboard, brass, lacquered elm burl, Italy, 1970s

This exquisite sideboard, created by the creative Italian designer Luciano Frigerio, exemplifies the aesthetic sensibilities that prevailed during the 1970s. The front facade features a captivating interplay of angular brass panels arranged in an asymmetrical configuration, imbuing the piece with a dynamic and visually compelling quality. The top and base are meticulously crafted in lacquered elm burl wood, forming an elegant contrast with the brass. Concealed behind the brass paneling, doors provide access to the creme colored lacquered interior comprised of shelves and drawers for conveniently storing belongings. The application of the finest materials in conjunction with pure forms results in a luxurious and bold appearance. This sideboard serves as a testament to the artistry and impeccable craftsmanship of the designer.

Luciano Frigerio (1922-1999) had a dream to create furniture that became art through clever design and the use of high-quality materials. From this notion, “Mobili Scultura” or the concept of furniture sculpture was born.
