This exceptionally rare sideboard , designed by Vittorio Introini for Saporiti Italia in the 1960s, is one of the most progressive and hard-to-find designs of Italian post-war design. Examples in this version, with polished aluminium panels and fully mirrored fronts , rarely appear on the international design market.
In this complete setup with all elements in their original configuration, this piece is one of the rarest known examples worldwide. It is a sideboard that is highly sought after today by international collectors, decorators, and interior architects, precisely because of its radical simplicity and strength.
The piece of furniture embodies Introini's radical, rational approach to form and material. The sleek, architectural composition is enhanced by the use of industrial, mirrored surfaces that constantly change with light and perspective. The polished aluminium creates an exciting interplay of reflections, giving the sideboard a distinctly sculptural, almost architectural quality .
Vittorio Introini (b. 1935) is an Italian postwar designer with a distinct architectural vision: his furniture is characterized by international, spatial proportions and a strong emphasis on structure, metal, and glass. His work has been included in major exhibitions and is considered the epitome of the Italian avant-garde of the 1960s and 1970s.
Saporiti Italia , founded in the 1950s, is known as one of the most innovative Italian furniture manufacturers, with a reputation for avant-garde, high-quality design that closely connects architecture and furniture design. Their creations are among the most advanced pieces in the history of Italian design and are collected by connoisseurs worldwide.
This specific example is in beautiful, exceptionally well-preserved condition. The aluminium and mirror surfaces are strikingly flawless, with only minimal signs of use that are entirely consistent with its age and only contribute to its authenticity.
An extremely rare collector's piece that becomes available only sporadically and can effortlessly rival museum pieces and masterpieces from international private collections.
