SILVER Seller in Alpes-Maritimes, France
An impressive designer sideboard executed in the aesthetic language of late Italian Postmodernism. The wooden structure is embellished with multicoloured Murano glass panels arranged in a striking composition of circles, semicircles, arches and rectilinear forms. A vibrant palette of red, blue, green, yellow, pink, white and smoky-grey tones creates a dynamic visual rhythm, transforming the piece into a sculptural work of collectible design. The façade is composed of two hinged doors enclosing a practical storage compartment. Each glass element is framed within gilt-brass profiles that emphasise the architectural clarity of the composition. The upper section is surmounted by a pale blue glass top, enhancing the interaction of light with the coloured glass surfaces while lending a sense of visual lightness to the overall form. The geometric arrangement of the façade reveals clear affinities with the visual vocabulary of Victor Vasarely and European Op Art, while retaining the decorative character of Italian Postmodern design of the late twentieth century. The sideboard stands as a compelling synthesis of traditional Murano glass craftsmanship and contemporary artistic design. Dimensions: 122 × 92 × 51 cm. Material: Wood, Murano glass, gilt brass, glass. Condition: Good.
