Descrizione

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.
