Davide Pizzigoni is a multifaceted artist and designer, who began his creative career in the mid-Eighties, sponsored by other designers such as Alessandro Mendini. He worked for Olivetti, Bulgari (a collection of porcelains manufactured by Rosenthal), Rubelli, Interflex. He is also appreciated for his works related to theater and opera settings.
Sormani discovered the young and talented Pizzigoni, together with his partner Manolo De Giorgi, right before the Salone del Mobile in 1989 and commissioned a series of bedroom furnishings of which this chest of drawers, named CASSIS, is a witness. It matches well with the FAUNO canopy bed of the same collection.
This piece is in chipboard and mdf, with feet in chromed metal.
The piece is in perfect condition, has never been used, and just shows an almost invisible little scratch on the left side (see picture) and some wear and tear (superficial rust – removable with suitable product) on the metal feet.
Both items come with a “Certificate of Authenticity” on original vintage letterhead of the manufacturer.
