Illuminated drinks cabinet, circa 1950
Wooden body covered in goatskin, painted doors and chrome-plated metal details.
Aldo Tura was highly skilful in turning everyday objects into magical pieces of art with an unconventional and whimsical design. An eclectic drinks cabinet made of the finest parchment brings back playful childhood memories. Yet, behind the guise of a treasure chest lies a refined interior, a play of solids and voids accentuated by the reflection of the glass shelves on the illuminated mirror walls. A rare piece that immediately stands out as a striking work of art of its own.
Made in Italy.
