About the Item

Refined Italian sideboard in burr elm, with gilt brass accents and a sky blue Formica top. Crafted in the 1950s, this piece follows in the footsteps of iconic Italian designers Vittorio Dassi and Ico Parisi. Its six-drawer front stands out with a bold design, particularly the two protruding handles on the upper drawers, which add depth and character to the piece. This sense of dynamism continues in the base, which gives the impression that the sideboard is lightly lifted off the ground. The final touch of originality comes from the sky blue Formica top — a vibrant, pop detail that contrasts beautifully with the warm glow of the burr elm veneer. A unique and stylish vintage piece in perfect condition, highly sought after by interior decorators and mid-century modern furniture enthusiasts. This is an ideal piece to bring a touch of both pop charm and timeless elegance to your interior. Vittorio Dassi (1893–1973): Vittorio Dassi was an influential Italian furniture designer and manufacturer whose work helped define the refined aesthetic of Italian modernism in the mid-20th century. Active from the 1930s through the 1960s, Dassi was known for creating high-quality, elegant furniture that blended Art Deco influences with the emerging language of modern design. Based in Lissone, a town near Milan renowned for its furniture production, Dassi inherited the family business Dassi Mobili Moderni, originally founded by his father. Throughout his career, he collaborated with some of the most significant architects and designers of the time, including Gio Ponti, with whom he shared a vision of bringing sophisticated Italian craftsmanship into the modern age. Dassi’s creations often featured luxurious materials — such as exotic woods (notably rosewood, walnut, and burr elm), glass, marble, and brass — skillfully combined to achieve a balance of geometry, elegance, and functionality. His signature style includes bold yet harmonious forms, often with sculptural bases, asymmetrical details, and distinctive hardware. Many of his pieces were custom-made for elite clients and public buildings, including universities and government offices. Though less internationally recognized than some of his contemporaries, Dassi’s furniture has experienced a resurgence in recent decades, appreciated for its timeless style, exquisite workmanship, and modernist flair. Today, his pieces are highly sought after by collectors and interior designers, often appearing in high-end auctions and curated interiors around the world.
