Space age lighting sideboard unique by "Franco Minissi" manufactured in the 70s

About the Item

Magnificent corner sideboard made by the famous architect "Franco Minissi" for a private home in 1970. Drawings of the project are archived and preserved at the Rome Historical Archives. The cabinet is a one-piece piece made of white lacquered wood and inserted into a brass cage custom-made to hold the cabinet. The sliding cabinet doors are made of a processed and curved plastic polymer, not the usual plexiglass but a component that lies between glass and plastic. Inside are 2 lights with brass reflectors and a light in the corner part. This piece of furniture is a perfect example of a transitional midcentury to space age style, elegant and refined yet contributes to being colorful and lively,suitable for those who want to have something unique and incredible that is part of design history.
