Luciano Frigerio, 'Diamante' sideboard, wood, Italy, 1970s
This remarkable cabinet, created by the creative Italian designer Luciano Frigerio, exemplifies the aesthetic sensibilities that prevailed during the 1960s and -70s. The front facade features a captivating geometric layout carefully carved following a zigzag-pattern, featuring cubist rows of two varying sizes that alternate seamlessly. This defining element imbues the piece with a dynamic and visually compelling quality. The drawers and door panels adhere to a similar feel, yet more simplified in execution, comprising rectangular panels that have a relief surface, which results in a striking interplay of lines and space. The application of the finest material with a beautiful red tone and expressive grain in conjunction with pure forms engenders a energetic and bold appearance. This cabinet serves as a testament to the artistry and impeccable craftsmanship of the designer.
Luciano Frigerio (1922-1999) had a dream to create furniture that became art through clever design and the use of high-quality materials. From this notion, “Mobili Scultura” or the concept of furniture sculpture was born.
