Pair of Art Deco cabinets attributed to PAOLO BUFFA (1903-1970). Italy, 1940s. Lacquered wood and parchment. Keys included. Measurements: 120 x 80 x 40 cm. Extraordinary pair of desks or secretaire, Art Deco style and period, attributed to the Italian designer Paolo Buffa. Refined and elegant, they follow the style of the splendid designer and are made of black lacquered wood and parchment. The design, with clean and simple lines, focuses attention on its long legs of decreasing diameter and on the contrast created by the materials. With a black and white exterior, it impresses when you open its door and discover the red and embossed leather, which creates an elegant and striking effect. Paolo Buffa's work stands out for the perfection of execution and the neoclassical influence on his style, which the designer acquired during his training at Gio Ponti's studio throughout the 1920s. The solid and elegant lines that characterize his furniture seem to emulate a continuity between the 19th and 20th centuries. Of this pair of design gems, the use of parchment stands out. This element of animal origin is obtained from the hairless and well stretched skin of the cow or lamb, although even squirrel skin has been used. Its origin dates back to a time before Christ, remains of papyrus have been found from the second century B.C. Its use has been varied, from writing and illuminations to the coating of other objects such as books or furniture for decorative purposes, conferring luxury and prestige to the piece. The design, although always evolving, does not lose the essence of good materials.

VITTORIO DASSI (Italy, 1893-1973). Dining table, 1950s. Calacatta marble and mahogany wood. In good condition according to its age and use. Measurements: 77 x 134 x 91 cm. Spectacular table designed by Vittorio Dassi, prestigious Italian designer active in the middle of the last century. Made of mahogany wood with an oval-shaped calacatta marble top. Simple structure, with a single foot that supports, in the central area, the top. This tulip foot is made of carved and lacquered mahogany, which gives it great sumptuousness. Its shape is flared towards the floor, emphasized by the grooves. It rests on an oval-shaped marble base that matches the top. Underneath the top, the structure is again made of wood. With its unique features and meticulous attention to detail, this table is a testament to Vittorio Dassi's innovative vision and artistic sensibility. Vittorio Dassi's furniture, made in the 1940s and 1950s, is distinguished by the choice of fine woods such as rosewood, cherry, ash and walnut, often decorated with inlaid panels and glass signed by great master glassmakers. Elegant in design without losing functional quality, his furniture can be compared to the refined style of Gio Ponti, to whom Vittorio was linked by important collaborations after taking over from his father at Dassi Mobili Moderni in Lissone. One of the factory's most important projects was the creation of furniture for the rooms of the Hotel Royal in Naples, designed by Ponti in the mid-1950s, a period that marked Dassi's turn towards more schematic forms and teak wood for the production of modular furniture.
