Sideboard by Gianluigi Gorgoni for Fratelli Turri, 1980

About the Item

Stunning sideboard made in Italy by Turri in the 1980s, designed by Gianluigi Gorgoni, a testament to the opulent and theatrical style that made the brand famous in the world of high-end Italian design. The solid and geometric structure is crafted from veneered wood with a precious red-tinted birdseye maple and a glossy finish, which enhances the natural shades of the wood and gives visual depth to the entire piece. The front is divided into three well-proportioned sections: the central part features four large drawers with coordinated wood fronts and small gilded knobs, while the two side doors, hinged, are clad in amber-colored smoked mirrored glass, a material often found in luxury furnishings of the 1980s. The reflective panels capture light and bring dynamism to the composition, creating sophisticated plays of reflection. Thin gilded brass frames elegantly outline the doors and drawers, emphasizing the clean and symmetrical lines of the piece and enhancing its refined aesthetic. The slightly recessed base and compact volume make it an imposing yet non-intrusive piece of furniture, ideal for elegant living rooms, dining areas, or statement entryways. A perfect balance between formal rigor and decorative detail, this sideboard is a refined example of postmodern Italian design and retains all the charm of its era. In excellent vintage condition, it is a rare piece with strong visual presence-perfect for those seeking a unique, refined piece of furniture with a strong aesthetic identity.
