Italian Beech Console by Cesare Augusto Nava for Nava Arredamenti C 1980

About the Item

A striking example of late 20th-century Italian design, this console table by Cesare Augusto Nava for Nava Arredamenti blends clean architectural lines with the warmth of wood. Crafted from beech wood with a contrasting light and dark stain, the console’s minimalist structure is elevated by its sculptural back panel, lending a sense of depth and dimension. This refined piece embodies Nava’s signature approach—balancing simplicity and elegance—making it a versatile addition to both modern and vintage interiors. The linear silhouette and rich wood tones allow it to function as an entryway console, writing desk, or display table. A rare find from the 1980s, this console remains in excellent vintage condition with minor signs of wear consistent with age. Cesare Augusto Nava was an Italian designer active during the late 20th century, known for his work with Nava Arredamenti. His designs, such as the ‘Sonetto 1’ bookcase and the ‘Quadrifoglio’ coffee table with an internal light source, showcase his innovative approach to furniture design.

Vesta Postmodern Glass Sconce Pair for VeArt by Ernesto Gismondi C 1990
By Ernesto Gismondi, VeArt, Artemide
Located in Brooklyn, NY
A rare pair of postmodern Italian wall sconces, the Vesta model was designed by Ernesto Gismondi for VeArt around 1990, capturing the bold experimentation of late 20th-century Italian lighting design.
