Good Vibrations Cabinet by Ferruccio Laviani for Fratelli Boffi, Italy

Sophisticated style exercises are immediately recognized in the container furniture made of a hand-carved base and finished in aged golden leaf. The floral decorations, curls and shells immediately recall the stylistic features of the Baroque, but the greatness of these wooden curves contrasts instead with the geometry of the upper unit. Hand-carved Baroque base in antique gold is contrasted with the rigorous geometry of the top covered in a colored mirror on which an eccentric handle is placed in the form of a gecko. As usual, nothing is left to chance and when this magic coffer opens, the shelves are in glass while the interior of the doors is covered with bronze or golden mirrors: a harmonious patchwork of materials, shapes and styles that coexist in a single object.
