Gianni Moscatelli Wood & Anodized Aluminium Sideboard for Formanova, Italy c1970

About the Item

Gianni Moscatelli, a celebrated Italian furniture designer, has left an indelible mark on the world of interior aesthetics through his innovative approach to form, function, and materials. Born in 1940 in Milan, Gianni Moscatelli embarked on his journey in furniture design through architecture. This multidisciplinary background laid the groundwork for his distinctive approach, where he viewed furniture as more than just utilitarian objects, but as functional sculptures that interact with space and the human experience. One of Moscatelli's defining characteristics as a designer is his ability to harmonize form and function. His furniture pieces often exhibit clean lines, balanced proportions, and a sense of visual unity, while maintaining their practical purpose. This piece is a prime example of this. Moscatelli's exploration of materials is another hallmark of his work. He had an affinity for embracing natural materials, often utilizing woods, metals as expemplified by this sideboard. His meticulous attention to detail and expert craftsmanship allowed him to create furniture that exuded a sense of quality and sophistication. This piece designed in collaboration with acclaimed Italian edition house Formanova provides two full height cupboard doors, four drawers, and one low 'flap' door.
