Design
This sideboard bearing the name “Corinto” is a masterpiece from the collection that includes many special pieces of furniture and objects. The reference to places of ancient Greek civilizations is reflected in the name and has a rather monumental connotation. This suits an object like this because it absolutely has the characteristics of a monumental piece and has virtually no equal.Its design is like a postmodern stylized Greek temple to which our gaze is drawn and specifically to the center. A stepped gable-like shape could just as well represent a tympanum. On both sides, eight oak cubes demarcate the boundary of the so-called altar section. They are connected by oak semi-circular parts that show a horizontally sloping grain. This contrasts sublimely with the warm horizontal flame drawings of the square oak parts. In the middle is a glass plate with a semi-circular protruding plateau on which a vase or other decorative object can be placed.The “Corinto” is equipped with four doors and eight drawers that are hidden in the body and offer plenty of storage space. Things can be placed in plain view and this will have to take place in the center of the cupboard, while other things can be stored behind doors and in drawers. Everything is completely finished with a wenge veneer that combines wonderfully with the warm oak. This applies to the side, top and back and therefore provides the option to position the cabinet freely in the room if desired. Wenge strips have been applied to the corners to avoid hard or sharp transitions. Viewed from a distance, this creates the illusion of a kind of softness. Finally, a feeling of lightness has been added by positioning the legs of the “Corinto” deeper under the cabinet. A small but strong shadow is created that seems to lift everything slightly off the floor. It is a typical feature that together with the other stunning sections make up for this “capolavoro” by Ferdinando Meccano.
