About the Item

Fantastic midcentury wood bar cart with glass serving trays. This piece is attributed to Cesare Lacca and it was designed in Italy during 1950s. This wonderful piece comes with a removable glass tray and has an ergonomic bottle holder, while the structure is made of soft wood with round lines and a pair of big brass wheels. The design of this cart makes it perfect for a midcentury-style dining room or bar. Born in Naples in 1929, the Italian architect-designer Cesare Lacca created modernist furniture and metal objects in the 1950s. Although the details of his personal life and professional training remain lost in history, there are sufficient surviving primary sources documenting his many elegant brass designs for which he is best known and which get high prices from collectors. Like many Italian designers in the 20th century, Lacca moved to Milan after the Second World War to start his career. Even before he turned 21, his work was selected by a group of American curators for inclusion in historic Italy at Work: Her Renaissance in Design Today exhibition that visited 12 U.S. museums between 1950 and 1953, the first major exhibition of Italian design outside Italy. The exhibition exhibited the best and brightest Italian designers who had embraced modernist principles and rejuvenated traditional Italian craftsmanship, such as Carlo Mollino, Franco Albini and Gio Ponti In his career, Lacca has designed many tea trolleys and serving trolleys, which represent a large part of what is available on the vintage market today, as well as magazine racks and coffee tables. Lacca's most iconic tea trolley was produced by the Italian brand Cassina and features carved beech, cedar, teak or walnut with brass details, a glass top and a removable glass tray. Lacca also designed high-backed lounge chairs, which were regularly featured in the Arredoluce advertisements for Angelo Lelli's lighting. Incidentally, Lacca's lighting projects, at least one of which was exhibited at the 1950 Brooklyn Museum exhibit, are difficult to find and often sell well above the prices estimated at art auctions. Almost all known Lacca designs were created in the 1950s, and unfortunately, we don't know how his career has developed since the 1960s. Today Cesare Lacca is appreciated for his contribution to the identity of Italian design; his ability to model brass in the Italian conversation about post-war design; and its timeless and highly sought after service trolleys.

Midcentury Cesare Lacca Wood Italian Bar Cart with Serving Trays, 1950s

By Cesare Lacca

Located in Roma, IT

Fantastic mid century wood bar trolley. It was produced by Cesare Lacca in Italy during 1950s. This wonderful piece comes with two glass removable trays and an ergonomic bottle rack. The lines of this piece make it perfect for a midcentury-style dining room or bar. Born in Naples in 1929, Italian architect-designer Cesare Lacca created modernist furniture and metalwork throughout the 1950s. Though details of his personal life and professional training remain lost to history, there are sufficient surviving primary sources that document his many elegant designs in brasswork for which he is the best know and which fetch high prices from collectors. Like many Italian designers in the 20th century, Lacca moved to Milan after World War II to launch his career. Before he was even 21 years old, his work was selected by a group of American curators for inclusion in the landmark exhibition Italy at Work: Her Renaissance in Design Today that toured 12 US museums between 1950 and 1953—the first major exhibition of Italian design outside of Italy. The exhibition showcased the best and brightest of Italian designers who had embraced modernist principles and rejuvenated traditional Italian crafts, like Carlo Mollino , Franco Albini, and Gio Ponti In the exhibition catalogue, curator Meyric R. Roger’s spotlights Lacca's expert achievements in brass, noting “the variety and quality of his creations,” which “place him high among the architect-designers leading the current [Modernist] movement." Rogers adds, "The quality of his work...provide[s] all the decorative effectiveness needed without strain or exaggeration”. Lacca designed a great many tea carts and serving trolleys in his career—which make up a large proportion of what is available on the vintage market today—as well as magazine racks and coffee tables. Lacca’s most iconic tea cart was manufactured by Italian brand Cassina and features sculpted beech, cedar, teak, or walnut with brass details, a glass tabletop, and a removable glass tray. Lacca also designed high-backed lounge chairs, which were regularly featured in Arredoluce advertisements for Angelo Lelli’s lighting...
