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.

  • Chinoiserie Cabinet by Giambattista Gianotti, Unique piece
    By Serafino Arrighi, Paolo Buffa
    Located in Milano, IT
    Rare chinoiserie cabinet with polychrome decorations made in Giambattista Gianotti's Officine Riunite d'Arte Decorativa (Room 116) for the II Biennial - Lombard Section - Room with Furniture and Stained Glass Windows of the Officine Riunite d'Arte Decorativa. Unique Exemplar. The extraordinary piece of furniture is dated 1925. The piece of furniture is an extraordinary example of great cabinet making and woodworking. In fact, these special features are denoted by the manic inlays inserted in the cabinet. The inlays are perfect even in its smallest elements. Its depictions are mainly ornaments and floral elements. These inlays are found on the crown of the cabinet, on the sides, and on the legs. The cabinet opens via two lockable doors. Inside we find great magic! We are greeted by numerous walnut wood drawers of various sizes that can be opened with wooden knobs. Each wooden door is finely carved with ornaments and natural elements such as flowers and birds. The two main doors inside are also finely carved. Let's call it a chinoiserie piece of furniture because of this element that contradicts it: the numerous cabinets inserted inside, where opening this piece of furniture looks like opening a secret chest...
