1980s Studio Smania Tall Birds Eye Briar Burl Display Cabinet Bookshelf, 1970s

About the Item

This high quality display cabinet, by architect Fabrizio Smania for Studio Smania Interni from the “Serie Mitzar” line is made of veneered bird’s-eye briar wood, on the late 1970s early 1980s. In a striking golden yellow/lime hue, the tall cabinet houses four glass shelves, and is anchored by a two-door cabinet with generous storage space at the bottom. With Memphis Milano movement references. This is an extremely rare piece as they only did a very small production of these tall cabinets and this finish. The two doors have brass handles, and the glass shelves are fully adjustable - perfect for whatever shaped ornaments or trinkets you may have, big or small. Also available is a round dining table and a set of four Vienna straw rattan dining chairs in a similar finish and style - don’t hesitate to enquire if you would like to complete the set. These pieces usually wrongly attributed to these designers Fratelli Turri, Fratelli Orsenigo and Willy Rizzo Bibliografia di riferimento: Catalogo Originale Studio Smania Interni; Casa Vogue - Dicembre 1981.
