This exceptional and very rare Italian dry bar, cocktail cabinet, designed by Giovanni Offredi one of the most discreet but among the most ingenious designers who created for the Italian manufacturer Saporiti.

More than a piece of furniture, this stunning piece is a sculpture, like a TOTEM, it is topped with a turntable that can allow you to put glasses, the time to serve your guests. Make sure this eye-catching dry bar t is as useful as it is stylish and will pair with antique pieces, Art Deco or contemporary interiors. Unfortunately the photos do not do enough justice, do not hesitate to ask for more or a video. Giovanni Offredi confesses about the design: "What worries me most, when I consider a topic, is not so much the evaluation of its epidermal appearance, but its intimate essence," offers. “In the field of furniture, it is unfortunately difficult to find clients willing to carry out too innovative experiments. Furniture is in fact an asset that must last over time without exceeding certain costs. More advanced innovations can be found more easily in the objects sector”. "Italian design, which has always drawn its success from the balance between rationality and fantasy, seems to have lost this harmony. The craving for the new has created confusion. Some are caught up in forced attempts, thinking of finding space in the market and achieving success. The Postmodern, born as an act of controversy against certain rationalist positions, fossilized over time, and then established itself for the desire to renew certain forms, freeing them from their rigidity, has been transforming up to identify with the search for novelty at all costs. However, the Post Modern failed to go beyond the surface, it failed to give content to its forms. Here then we no longer have to deal with a cultural fact, but with a fact of fashion and beyond rationality there is only passion, the ephemeral, the passenger ". "The object must find its reason for utility in beauty; but, only if you can give the external aspect a content and an expressive meaning, the result can be said to be valid. I consider giving shape to an object as an attempt to obtain the image of its deepest reason. And we must not confuse beauty with appearance, since the latter is the superficial part of the form. Beauty will be greater the more it emerges of its substance. In essence, I want to make those objects that I try to create live out of their own life”. "Among the thousands of possible forms, one is chosen, the most significant of the particular cultural moment that is in us, and which is dependent on the intensity and richness of the knowledge that presses us to come to life; therefore design will never be fashionable, since this is only the ephemeral passion of its time "."The object must find its reason for utility in beauty; but, only if you can give the external aspect a content and an expressive meaning, the result can be said to be valid.

Over the years, the Milanese designer Giovanni Offredi (1927-2007) has ranged from the design of furniture to lamps, from kitchens to telephones, from furnishing accessories to televisions. Since 1950, Saporiti Italia produces some of the most sophisticated and advanced pieces of furniture of the history of Italian design. Between 1970-1980 Giovanni Offredi had a big success with his innovative design for example the Wave sofa represents the peak of the Saporiti international success. Its purity of lines and its extra-large proportions, result in an incredible attraction for Saporiti’s international markets. There is a leit motiv...
