About the Item

Rare and beautiful wood cabinet attributed to Gianfranco Frattini, Italy, 1950 - 60s. A true classic of Italian Mid-Century design, capable of speaking with style and sophistication through the generations. Details in great conditions of the wood shutters that hide the storages and shelves behind . 4 vertical carved rods make the structure sturdy with a shape that seem the wood to be bended, stunning , functional and elegant in every interior, both classical or modern. Frattini opened his own professional practice in Milan, after having worked in the office of his teacher and mentor Giò Ponti.Frattini became an industrial designer by default when he lacked appropriate lighting and furniture for his interiors. His collaboration with Cesare Cassina for his namesake company started in 1954, followed by collaborations with many other manufacturers, such as Bernini, Arteluce, Acerbis, Fantoni, Artemide (for whom among others pieces with Livio Castiglioni he designed the historic Boalum lamp), Luci, Knoll, Lema and many others. In 1956 he co-founded Associazione per il Disegno Industriale and throughout his career he practiced both industrial design and architecture, focusing mostly on interiors. His residential commissions included numerous private apartments and palazzos, stores, and offices. His international commissions took him to Dusseldorf and Luxembourg, where he designed the interiors of the luxury stores, and Tokyo, where he designed the interior public spaces of the Tokyo Hilton. Frattini was a board member of the Triennale. A great connoisseur of wood craftsmanship, he forged a long and fruitful professional partnership with the master craftsman from Bovisio Masciago (Milan), Pierluigi Ghianda.[12] Glassware designed by Gianfranco Frattini for Progetti is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art and the Boalum lamp (with Livio Castiglioni) produced by Artemide is in the collection of the Smithsonian, Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum.
