DESCRIPTION
Chest of drawers; Italy, Murano, c. 1980.
Glass plates and brass mounts.
It has slight pitting on the board.
Measurements: 94.5 x 100 x 45 cm.
Chest of drawers, made in Italy, Murano, c. 1980, an outstanding example of late twentieth century design. The design is articulated by a clear and symmetrical geometric structure, where the glass surfaces acquire a leading role. The glass plates, treated with a fragmented composition of angular lines, generate a dynamic visual effect that breaks with the flatness of the furniture and suggests an influence of postmodern design and the taste for decorative abstraction characteristic of the 1980s.
The elevation of the main body on stylized legs brings visual lightness to the piece, distancing it from the traditional conception of the chest of drawers as a heavy, solid piece of furniture. This resource, common in Italian design of the period, responds to a search for balance between functionality and sculptural value,
