Rare Sideboard by Mario Asnaghi for Industria Asnaghi

Creator: Franco Asnaghi
Offered by: Vintage Domus Srl

Description
Rare living room sideboard produced by Industria Asnaghi and designed by Mario Asnaghi in the 1970s, an iconic piece that perfectly embodies the elegance and sophistication of design from that decade. This piece of furniture represents an exceptional example of Italian craftsmanship, further highlighted by its publication in the prestigious magazine Ottagono, a testament to its artistic value and significance in the design world.

The sideboard is in excellent condition, despite the passage of time. The minor scratches are minimal and do not detract from the aesthetic integrity of the piece, which remains almost perfect. The clean design, typical of Asnaghi's craftsmanship, is expressed through sharp and well-defined geometric lines, the result of Mario Asnaghi's creative skill. The cabinet doors are composed of two adjacent rectangles that, in the center, form a carved geometric shape, enriching the overall design with a sculptural detail. This feature not only adds personality to the sideboard but also enhances its formal purity, transforming it into not just a functional piece of furniture but a true design object.

The sideboard consists of six doors, each providing ample internal space for storing various items. The storage capacity is further enhanced by the presence of pull-out drawers positioned above the doors, featuring minimalist and sculptural brass knobs. The choice of brass for these details gives a touch of refinement and adds an elegant contrast to the linearity of the wood.

The sideboard’s sharp and clean forms create an intriguing play of geometries that strongly echoes the Scandinavian design aesthetic, known for its simplicity and functionality. The balance between the bold geometric lines and the use of natural materials makes this sideboard perfect for modern and minimalist interiors. Thanks to the quality of the materials and the craftsmanship, this piece fits harmoniously into contemporary design spaces where simplicity and purity of form take center stage.

This piece is ideal for those looking for furniture that not only reflects the highest standards of Italian design but also conveys a sense of timeless elegance and pure refinement. The Mario Asnaghi sideboard is destined to become the focal point of any space, with its ability to combine functionality and art in a single, perfect harmony.
