1960s Claudio Salocchi Bar Unit, Aluminium, White Lacquer for Sormani, Italy
About the Item
The whole idea of the Ellisse collection was to use extruded aluminum as main feature: three extruded pieces to form a whole series of high class containers used as bar units, chests of drawers and tilt-door wall-mounted sideboards
This double sided bar unit is a clear example of how industrial design was conceived in 1967, the vault of the space age.
The block is two-side and has one lower unit, with four aluminum drawers on one side and four on the opposite. A perfect highlight for your lounge, sitting or dining room.
The upper side has a tilt door on front and back, with a brake and a magnet. Inside each compartment, a movable, H-shaped shelving unit in HPL-like material.
The drawers in the lower part (with upper and lower side in white lacquered wood and sides in aluminum) have aluminum fronts and HPL and wooden sides.
The upper part has aluminum sides and the rest is white mat lacquered wood.
The full size in cm is height 100 x 93 x 93 (in inches height 39" 3/8 x 36" 39/64 x 36" 39/64).
Lower container is on castors and can be moved around the room.
The piece can be divided in two parts: upper and lower. In this case, the lower part would need extra feet).
It is usually best displayed in the middle of a room or to divide the dining area from the living room.
It is in perfect condition.
Because of the characteristic of the materials, the lower drawers are a little hard to pull.
The piece comes with a "Certificate of Authenticity" on original letterhead of the Manufacturer.

- 1967 Salocchi White Mirrored Vanity with Light and Tilting Top Sormani, ItalyBy Claudio Salocchi, SormaniLocated in Arosio, ITThis is an original piece of 1967, that was meant to be put in the middle of a room, thus its name "centro". It is a white cube with a tilt-top that turns into a mirror with a built-in light on two sides. Size is cm 59 H x 81 x 81 (ft: H 1' 11" 15/64 x 2' 7" 57/64 x 2' 7" 57/64). Even the two light bulbs are still the original ones, perfectly functioning. A transformer must be applied for US plugging. All drawers (4 rotating on the back and two on the front) work perfectly. The finish is slightly damaged on the lower back drawers (shows some not very noticeable swelling) and one of the front drawers has a slightly different hue (due to light and time). All the hardware and the tilting hardware in chrome-stained brass are perfect. Amina was a disruptive series of extremely contemporary containers for the home, envisaged by Claudio Salocchi for Sormani in the mid-1960s. It was the first series of totally white, squared furniture for the living- dining- and bedroom of international level. Almost a scandal for an era still tied to traditional wooden finishes and shapes. From scandal to success, this chest of drawers or coiffeuse was displayed with the rest of the collection of beds, tables, modular shelving units, in several movies of the early Seventies such as "L'Invasion" of Yves Allergret, with Michel Piccoli and Lisa Gastoni. The piece comes with a certificate of provenance on original Sormani letterhead. Please check also LU3681116076542 to have a matching ensembleCategory
