Pair of Italian rationalist stools in formica

About the Item

Imagine a pair of Italian rationalist stools, frozen in time from a bygone era. These stools are more than just furniture; they are a testament to a design movement that celebrated precision, simplicity, and functionality. The first thing that strikes you is their form—rigid and sharp, a hallmark of Italian rationalism. Each stool stands on two rectangular side legs, their lines crisp and unyielding. It's a design that exudes an air of seriousness and purpose. But it's the seat that adds a touch of intrigue to these stools. Crafted from curved wood, it forms a slight semi-circle, offering a comfortable yet subtly elegant perch. The tabletop, adorned with a light blue formica layer, is a canvas of artistry with delicate white strokes, a nod to the attention to detail that defines these pieces. The material of choice for these stools is walnut wood, known for its timeless beauty and strength. It's a choice that reflects both the era's reverence for tradition and its pursuit of modernity. These stools, with their strict and precise shapes, are the epitome of classic elegance with an Art Deco flair. They are the missing pieces that your space with discerning taste has been yearning for. When you bring them into your home, you're not just acquiring furniture; you're acquiring a piece of Italian vintage furniture history. Each time you take a seat, you'll feel a connection to an era that celebrated the marriage of form and function, where every piece of furniture was a work of art, designed to stand the test of time.

Italian rationalist sideboard by G. Pagano in Bauhaus style

By Giuseppe Pagano Pogatschnig

Located in Milano, IT

1920s Italian Sideboard in Rationalist Style - Design by Giuseppe Pagano, Bauhaus Influences This refined 1920s Italian sideboard, attributed to renowned architect and designer Giuseppe Pagano, is an emblematic example of the Italian Rationalist period, strongly influenced by the aesthetic principles of European Bauhaus. Clean lines, essentiality and fine materials come together in a piece of furniture with academic rigor and timeless charm. The frame features a birch burl veneer ( we assume), with a linear configuration. The central part consists of two doors with black lacquered wood handles, which open to two large interior shelves, ideal for storing objects of different sizes with order and elegance. The element that immediately catches the eye is the left side of the sideboard, where a black lacquered wall stands out, enriched by three arched shelves...
