This tall sideboard is part of the tradition of Italian cabinetmakers in the Cantù area—a true flagship of quality production in the 1950s and 1960s—who followed the construction philosophy of Scandinavian design, which at that time set the standard in the international furniture market. This Italian piece—likely by Dassi—embodies the understated elegance of Danish and Swedish furniture while adding a distinctly Italian touch in the form of the carved drawer fronts, an elegant detail rarely found on the original Nordic pieces.
