ALDO TURA (Italy, 1909 - 1963). Cabinet bar, 1960s. Rosewood, red lacquered goatskin and mirror lined interior. Measurements: 155 x 80 x 44 cm. This cabinet bar, designed by Aldo Tura around 1960, consists of a structure in macassar wood, with bronze hardware and upholstery in goatskin parchment. Raised on a pedestal of classical inspiration, formed by a prismatic base and a baluster, it consists of a prismatic body with two front doors of beautiful grain, with long hinges imitating those of the Gothic period and two arched handles also historicist. Inside it has a space entirely covered with mirror, divided by two glass shelves. Aldo Tura began his career in experimental furniture design in the 1930s. After the marked and angular forms of Art Deco, in these years wood began to be used in free forms, full of curves, and Tura saw in this new taste a new direction for furniture design. His work is a significant combination of free and uninhibited forms, sometimes exceptionally ironic. His designs are also examples of the highest craftsmanship, often being produced in limited edition series, and even just a prototype. In the 1950s, Tura discovered the evocative charm of furniture painted with Venetian architectural views, and also began to experiment with various materials, such as eggshell, parchment, goatskin or wood veneers.

Estim. 800 - 900 EUR
