Italian Mid-Century Modern Bamboo & Rattan Bar Cart by Franco Albini
-
Description
Rare and important Italian Mid-Century Modern rattan and glass bar or serving cart by Franco Albini. The piece is unique in linking traditional materials (rattan, bamboo) with an open, transparent aesthetic reflective of modernism. The stunning, slatted rattan structure is arranged symmetrically in a sober, linear pattern and the open spacing allows light and vision to pass through it in sober, but dramatic pattern. The serving cart is entirely functional. It is double level and has a bottle rack that can host 3 bottles. The condition is overall very good.
