About the Item

Postmodern Modern Design Chest of drawers by Umberto Asnago for Giorgetti, made in Italy 1980's. Rare chest of drawers / commode. Black laquered wood with palissander trim on front top. Beautifull slanted design which seems to flow at the front. 3 large drawers at the bottom, 2 drawers on top and 3 smaller drawers just below the top of the chest. With original metal round handles. Comes in very good and clean condition. Measures 88,5cm x 116cm x 58cm. Umberto Asnago is a contemporary Italian designer. Born in 1949 in Barlassina in the heart of the Brianza furniture district, he learned the secrets of woodworking at a very young age, apprenticing in local carpenter shops. He graduated from the Cantù Art Institute in 1968 and joined the Giorgetti furniture company in Meda, which boasts a family tradition dating to 1898. Curious and inclined to experiment, he soon became head of the Giorgetti Design Research Centre. In the 1970s, the company began an intense process of industrialisation and innovation that led to the expansion of its domestic and foreign markets. Designer and Art Director, Umberto Asnago has dedicated his working life to the world of design and planning. His career began in 1968 with GIORGETTI, after graduating from the Art Institute of Cantù. His professional experience, developed in the field, led him to become first a designer and then chief director of the company's Research Centre. A long and intense relationship, still going on today, under the banner of innovation and the celebration of the cabinet-making tradition of his native territory.
