Creator: Paolo Buffa
Offered by: Vangee Studio

Description
Designed by Paolo Buffa in 1956, this sophisticated Italian sideboard exemplifies the elegance and precision of postwar Italian craftsmanship. The cabinet features a luxurious green Alpine marble top resting above five doors in walnut and birch burl, each adorned with delicate brass floral inlays framed by scalloped detailing. The design highlights Buffa’s refined approach to proportion, balance, and material harmony.

Supported by four tapered legs terminating in brass sabots, the piece combines architectural poise with timeless grace. Every element reflects Buffa’s mastery in uniting functional design with decorative refinement.

This sideboard embodies the sophisticated aesthetic and artisanal excellence for which Buffa is celebrated, merging fine materials, craftsmanship, and subtle ornamentation into a cohesive form. A true statement of Italian mid-century design, it complements both modern and classic interiors with enduring elegance.
