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.

In the style of JOSEF HOFFMANN (Brtnice, Czech Republic, 1870 - Vienna, 1956). Pair of armchairs. Walnut wood. Fabric upholstery with floral decoration. With signs of wear and tear. With xylophages. The wood needs to be reworked. Measurements: 73 x 55 x 47 cm. Pair of armchairs of Central European style, framed within the Viennese Secession, with structure in walnut wood with structure of parallel bands, functional and of refined volumes. An architect and industrial designer, Josef Hoffmann studied at the Academy of Applied Arts in Vienna, where he was a disciple of Carl Freiherr von Hasenauer and Otto Wagner, whose theories of functional, modern architecture would profoundly influence his work. He won the Prix de Rome in 1895, and the following year he joined Wagner's office, collaborating with Olbrich on some projects for the Metropolitan. He established his own office in 1898, and taught at the School of Decorative Arts in Vienna between 1899 and 1936. He was also a founding member of the Viennese Secession. In 1900 he travelled to London, where he came into contact with the English school and discovered Mackintosh. On his return, he set up a workshop for the production of objects based on designs by Secession artists, and the Wiener Werkstätte was born, a workshop which had a great influence on 20th-century industrial design. By 1903, production began on an international scale. In the course of his life, Hoffmann produced a variety of projects for buildings and furnishings, and exhibited his creations all over the world. He is currently represented in the MAK and the Leopold Museum in Vienna, the Metropolitan and MoMA in New York, the Brohan in Berlin, the Courtauld Institute in London and the Victoria & Albert in London, among many others.
