Description
Mid-Century Modern Console Table Made of Laquered Goat Skin by Aldo Turabdesigned by Aldo Tura and produced in Italy approximately in the 1970s.
The console table has a wood structure which is covered in Aldo Tura's signature style parchment in tones of light and darker tones of green. The top is beautifully shaped with rounded edges which give the tables a very elegant and soft touch.
Born in 1909, Italian designer-maker Aldo Tura established his furniture production house in Lombardy in 1939. Working between the idioms of Art Deco and modernism, Tura created singular, high-end furniture and accessories that were typified by rich materials, sculptural forms, and high-end, artisanal techniques. Tura’s work has become highly collectible, especially examples with exotic finishes— like eggshell, goatskin, and parchment—in intense palettes of red, green, and yellow.
Tura was one of the most unique design talents of the Italian midcentury. In the postwar years, as many furniture producers were adjusting their production methods toward mass production, Tura remained committed to slow, traditional hand craftsmanship. He favored intricate, complex forms and labor-intensive processes that could never by replicated in a large-scale factory system. -
