RETRO4M Restyled 1950s Italian Highboard– A Modernist Noir

About the Item

Presenting a masterfully restyled piece from the 1950s, this Italian credenza offers a dialogue between vintage charm and contemporary chic. RETRO4M, renowned for their meticulous restorations, has executed a substantial renewal and restyling on this iconic piece, integrating custom-designed new parts that honor its heritage while projecting a modern aesthetic. The highboard showcases a significant volume with a single lockable door compartment, embodying functionality with flair. Crafted from wood, it boasts a lustrous black lacquer finish achieved through an artisanal French polishing technique. This meticulous technique creates a soft luster finish, which is less about mirror sheen and more about a deep, resonant glow that takes a week of dedicated craftsmanship to achieve. Complementing the deep noir of the lacquer is the top, finished in a contrasting green lacquer that adds a dash of avant-garde to the piece. Oxidized brass elements punctuate the design, providing a subtle nod to its mid-century roots while infusing an ultramodern sensibility. This sideboard, standing on its distinctive legs, reflects a keen attention to detail and design intelligence. It is a piece that has been thoughtfully curated and brought back to life to stand as a testament to the seamless integration of classic and contemporary design principles. For further information on dimensions, condition, or shipping, please inquire. This sideboard invites not just utility but also a story into your space—a centrepiece ready to continue its narrative in a new home.

  • Midcentury French Modernist Cabinet Vaisselier, 1950s
    Located in Paris, IDF
    Warm light brown oak and rich copper form a beautiful color palette in this cabinet vaisselier from the 1950s. On the front and top of the cabinet, the oak displays a striped lightwood/dark wood pattern that feels fun and very much of the era, while the recessed portions of the oak appear to shift into burnt orange for a subtle injection of natural color. Opening the door at the front of the cabinet, a series of small drawers are revealed for hidden storage and organization; the left side of the cabinet is formed by transparent glass, ideal for stowing decorative items or glassware, as well as giving the piece a sense of being filled with light. Though it was created by an unknown French craftsman, this piece is reminiscent of avant-garde designer Jean Royere’s work. Place it in your living room for a unique midcentury French modernist...
