Bauhaus Briar Wood Sideboard in Hynek Gottwald style

About the Item

This stunning storage cabinet, with uncertain attribution but strongly influenced by the style of Hynek Gottwald, immediately captures attention with its modernist lines and perfect balance of materials and design. Created during the era of European Rationalism, around the 1930s and 1940s, this piece stands out for its burl wood construction and innovative use of tubular metal, which directly echoes the designs that defined the Bauhaus movement. While it's not certain that it is a direct work of Gottwald, many features of the cabinet, such as the refinement of the lines and the fusion of fine wood with steel, are perfectly in tune with his design language. The burl wood, with its rich and natural grain, gives the cabinet a warm and sophisticated presence, creating a fascinating contrast with the use of chrome metal. What truly makes this piece unique is the choice not to keep the legs perpendicular to the floor but to rotate them 45 degrees. This seemingly simple detail actually reveals meticulous attention to design and a desire to break conventions. The legs, almost suspended in a balance between art and functionality, are a tribute to modernist innovation and the creative courage of the designers of the time. The cabinet is a piece where practicality merges with bold aesthetics, offering numerous storage spaces without sacrificing elegance. Its burl wood structure, rich with warm tones, is not only decorative but also functional: the open shelves and closed compartments offer versatility for any type of use while maintaining a clean and balanced composition. The reference to Gottwald's style is evident not only in the materials but also in the proportions and the balance between geometric shapes and fluid lines. As in his projects, this cabinet perfectly embodies the idea of blending functionality with beauty, making it not just a piece of furniture but a true work of art that tells the story of mid-century European design. Ideal for those seeking a unique piece that can be the protagonist in an elegant and refined setting, without ever feeling excessive.

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.
