About the Item
Handsome Italian Modernist Silvio Cavatorta two-piece desk and table set in deeply sculpted Italian Walnut with green glass surfaces. (ca. 1950, Italy). Boasts dramatic lines and rich walnut color/grain, presenting well from all angles. Uniquely small sized tables suitable for even the smallest of rooms while still offering useful storage solutions (desk features three shallow drawers, and the table is two-tiered creating a shelf for books or other items).
Conservatively refinished condition - light wear remains (glass surface scuffs that are only detected in direct light along with minimal wood wear/one naturally occurring separation in the walnut, as shown). Additionally, there is one rough corner to the glass surface of the small table. No wear is significant - all is age appropriate.

Silvio Cavatorta (1899-1957):
Silvio Cavatorta's father, Eugenio Cavatorta, founded "Cavatorta," the furniture/upholstery company in 1869. Silvio, one of thirteen children, started working for the family business after the First World War. He was the primary designer for Cavatorta, designing furniture for both home and commercial interiors. Even under German occupation during the Second World War, Silvio continued to work. Silvio's son, Franco, while studying to become an architect prior to finishing his degree in 1950, completed internships in the studios of Le Corbusier, Arne Jacobsen, Finn Juhl and Sven Markelius. Franco Cavatorta was the one to introduce the new style, generally defined as 'Swedish', and manufactured his designs in his fathers furniture factory, keeping the Cavatorta name alive and thriving.
