1980s Italian Dark Green Satin Lacquer Chest of Drawers by Sormani
About the Item
Chest of drawers in very dark green lacquer (the famous 20-gloss silky mat lacquer of Sormani) with six spacious drawers: two in elegant salmon lacquer, standing out with a colorful touch and four in dark green. Please note the skillful shape of each drawer front: a triangular shape with a recessed, convex upper part. In its simplicity, a real work of craftsmanship for an industrial manufacturer such as Sormani of Arosio, Italy.
Perfect for the entrance or the bedroom of a sleek city apartment or even for a contemporary mountain hut.
Davide Pizzigoni is a multi-faceted artist and designer, who began his creative career in the mid-Eighties, sponsored by other designers such as Alessandro Mendini. He worked for Olivetti, Bulgari (a collection of porcelains manufactured by Rosenthal), Rubelli, Interflex. He is also appreciated for his works related to theater and opera settings.
Sormani discovered the young and talented Pizzigoni, together with his partner Manolo De Giorgi, right before the Salone del Mobile in 1989 and commissioned a series of bedroom furnishings of which this chest of drawers, named CASSIS, is a witness.
This piece is in chipboard and mdf, with feet in chromed metal.
The piece is in perfect condition, has never been used, and just shows an almost invisible little scratch on the left side (see picture) and some wear and tear (superficial rust – removable with suitable product) on the metal feet.
It comes with a “Certificate of Authenticity” on original vintage letterhead of the manufacturer.
