High Credenza by Pierro Ranzani for Elam in Laminate, Teak and Metal, 1962

About the Item

High credenza by Pierro Ranzani for Elam in teak and black Laminate. What stands out are the large black laminate panels that work very well with the warm teak that is in great condition. A very nice high (108 cm) credenza with two sliding doors to cover two larger shelves, with three drawers that run very smooth and a small locker that folds open and has white laminate at the inside and some smaller shelves as well. Some nice details can be found back if you look at the carved legs for example that have a distinctive shape but also the knobs that have been made out of Brazilian hardwood and the metal rings behind the knobs that give them a nice contrastive appearance both in material as in colour. The subtle use of metal is a nice detail in general, also when you look at the panels that have metal at the outsides, serving as a frame function more or less. The sideboard is in a very good condition and is complete with all its shelves etc. The top is almost as new. Also a lower one available! Note that the label in the pictures is not attached to this sideboard but to the lower one. This picture serves merely as a proof of authenticity because they form a set and the lower one is 100% similar (but lower), but does have the label.

    Typical Vittorio Dassi credenza with its futuristic shapes and shiny appearance. Some sort of spaceship but then with mirror to see how beautiful you are. Shiny, outspoken and luxurious all resting on bended ballerina legs (with brass feet) that are in a slightly different color than the credenza: a bit more towards the red / purple while the other wood is brown and black. The top of the credenza is made of glass with underneath very slight pink paper...

  • Paolo Buffa Eight-Legs Grande Credenza in Wood, Brass and Glass, Italy, 1950's
    By Paolo Buffa
    Located in Amsterdam, NL
    Paolo Buffa (1903-1970) architect, designer Paolo Buffa was the son of artist Giovanni Buffa, long-considered a modern innovator of early 20th century applied arts. The elder Buffa was renowned for his studio works in stained glass, often collaborating with Eugenio Quarti and other important architects. After graduating in 1927 from Politecnico di Milano, Paolo began training in the studio of Gio Ponti and Emilio Lancia. The following year he opened his own studio with the architect Cassi Ramelli, designing private villas and residential buildings with a strong focus on fine furniture done in the neoclassical style of the Milanese School and its luminaries: Ponti, Lancia, Buzzi, Marellin, and Albini. His designs (which included lighting and textiles) were characterized by perfect execution, for homes of the wealthy middle class with a taste for modern design, that blended functionality and comfort with quality materials. His pieces were primarily executed by the highly skilled artisans of the Mario Quarti studio in Milan, by Serafino Arrighi, and later by the Angelo Marelli workshop. In 1930 Buffa and Cassi Remelli participated in The International Exhibition of Decorative Arts,which would later become the Triennale di Milano. At this time he also began his first collaboration with Gio Ponti's Domus magazine, to which he would contribute many writings in the years to follow. The 1933 Triennale, "Mostra dell Arredamento," presented a solo exhibition on Buffa, as well as a group show that featured his textile designs alongside works by Buzzi, Albini, and Pollini in the display hall of the government institution National Crafts and Small Industries (ENAPI). By the time of his participation in the 1936 VI Triennale, Buffa was considered one of the elite arbiters of modern taste and style. The painter Roberto Aloi, director of “L’Arredamento Modern” (the Hoepli periodic review of modern design) dedicated more space to Buffa in his publication than to any other Italian architect in future editions. 1940 saw an intense collaboration with the acclaimed Mario Quarti furniture studio in Milan, in which Buffa created the furnishings for the Royal Palace of King Zog, in Tirana, Albania. In 1945 Ico Parisi organized the exhibition "Prima Mostra dell Arredamento" in Como. Together he and Buffa designed 12 environments, displayed as real rooms in a home. The following year the show travelled to Milan as “Mostra Mercato per la Reconstruzione” (Exhibition of Reconstruction). In addition to Buffa and Parisi, among the participants were Cassi Ramelli, Gio Ponti, and Guillermo Ulrich, all working under an objective to foster a profound collaboration between architect and expert craftsman. In 1947 Buffa was invited by esteemed textile designer Fede Cheti to participate in the exhibition “Lo Stile nell Arredamento Moderno” (The Style of Modern Furniture), celebrating the rebirth of quality execution and technical perfection in the reinvention of classic Italian furniture...
