About the Item

Step into the world of Italian Futurism, where innovation and artistry converge to create a chest of drawers that transcends time. This magnificent piece is a testament to the era's high-quality craftsmanship, a living relic that exudes sophistication and style. Dive headfirst into the Futurist era as you lay your eyes on this exceptional sideboard. Its very essence is steeped in the aesthetics of the period, evident in the mesmerizing iconography adorning the front of the wood. Each glance at this masterpiece is a journey into the world of dynamic progress and forward-looking vision. Marvel at the exquisite top, graced by original marble from that very era. It's a tactile reminder of the past, a tangible connection to a time when art and design were undergoing a radical transformation. The sideboard's structure, a harmonious fusion of different woods, is a nod to the daring experimentation that defined the Futurist movement. Four drawers beckon you with their intriguing handles, seemingly crafted from bakelite in a captivating amaranth hue. These handles are more than mere fixtures; they are a bridge to an era where form and function danced in perfect synchrony.Yet, it's the front of this chest of drawers that truly steals the show. The iconic and elegant wood inlay, with its zigzag shapes, is a quintessential hallmark of the Futurist era. Those pointed geometric shapes symbolize the very essence of the movement - speed, movement, and the relentless march of progress. With every glance, you can almost feel the pulse of the era, the excitement of innovation in the air. This masterpiece remains in its original condition, a testament to its enduring beauty and resilience. However, for those who wish to restore it to its former glory, that possibility awaits, preserving its allure for generations to come. This chest of drawers isn't merely furniture; it's a time machine that transports you to a period of boundless creativity and unbridled imagination. It's the ideal addition to any living room or stylish bedroom, but it's especially cherished by those who treasure the rich history of Italian design. When you welcome this piece into your home, you're not just acquiring a piece of furniture; you're embracing a piece of Italian cultural heritage, a work of art that tells a story of innovation and elegance that will forever captivate the heart and soul.

This piece of contemporary art, as per Ivan's concept, describes the modern and historical paintings, sculptures, installations, and other visual culture of native or indigenous Africans and the African continent...
