Tito Agnoli wicker and wood chest of drawers, Pierantonio Bonacina, Italy, 1964
-
Description
A charming storage unit with six drawers in wicker and wood, design by Tito Agnoli, produced by Bonacina, Italy, 1960s
The charm of wicker furniture lies in its subtle balance between indoor and outdoor spaces. The material chosen for this chest of drawers, wicker, is a natural fiber that inevitably evokes open-air living, with summer-like impressions and echoes of distant lands. It also carries the heritage of an ancient craftsmanship tradition—the intricate weaving of natural fibers.
Tito Agnoli, the designer of this chest of drawers, consistently sought to incorporate this spirit into his creations, with evident success. Looking at this storage unit, one is struck by its regular shape and geometric proportions, softened by the refined wicker weave, which serves as a decorative texture within the design concept.
An unusual feature is its fully finished design on all sides, allowing it to be placed at the center of a room, where its woven surfaces can be appreciated from every angle. The small wooden feet and the subtly post-Deco-inspired handles complete the design of this piece, produced by Bonacina in the 1960s—one that still resonates with contemporary elegance.
