About This Piece

Vintage Design

Sideboard by Gianluigi Gorgoni for Fratelli Turri, Italy, 1970s–1980s. A refined example of Italian luxury design in African rosewood with brass details, combining architectural rigor with exceptional material richness.

This important sideboard stands out for its strong architectural presence, defined by a compact and perfectly calibrated volume with sharp edges and continuous surfaces.
Crafted in African rosewood (Guibourtia spp.), the piece highlights the depth and vibrancy of the wood grain, ranging from deep brown to warm reddish tones with subtle iridescent reflections. The material becomes the true protagonist, giving the piece a powerful yet controlled visual impact.
A distinctive feature is the angular cut of the upper edges, finished with brass inserts. This detail introduces a refined geometric tension and represents a recognizable signature of Turri’s high-end production.

Design & Function
The internal layout is designed with both functionality and elegance in mind. The sideboard features three large front drawers alongside a compartment with a hinged door, allowing for versatile storage.
The light wood interiors create a refined contrast with the darker exterior, further emphasizing the quality of craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Materials & Aesthetic
The use of African rosewood places this piece within the most luxurious production of the period. Its fine texture and chromatic richness give the surface a dynamic quality that changes with light, enhancing the sculptural character of the design.
The combination with brass details adds a subtle decorative accent without compromising the overall rigor of the form.
