Alberto Salvati and Ambrogio Tresoldi Cupboard, Italy, 1960s

An eclectic but classic cupboard designed in the 1960s by Alberto Salvati and Ambrogio Tresoldi and produced in Lissone (Milan) for a private commission. This unique high board is part of an entire dining room set comprehensive of a cupboard (see item reference: LU6764230844482), a table and a set of 8 chairs.

Very well preserved it combines neoclassical lines and exotic wooden essence like briar-root, teak and cherrywood being able to maintain a rigorous design.

Between 1960 and 1980, Alberto Salvati and Ambrogio Tresoldi livened up the Milanese cultural scene, bringing the art and architecture confluence to the centre of their research. Known for the use of colour and essences, their projects were systematically published in Domus when its executive director was Gio Ponti.

Graduated in 1960 at Milan Polytechnic with Carlo De Carli, Salvati & Tresoldi began to think about a new concept of design, which goes beyond the functionalist limits of rationalism towards the inclusion of the spiritual aspects’ immateriality in architecture.
