About This Piece

Vintage Design

Iconic and rare piece of Italian design, this chest of drawers belonging to the "Pellicano" series represents one of the most sophisticated and recognizable creations of Vittorio Introini, a visionary designer who was able to combine functionality, experimentation and architectural rigor.

Produced by Saporiti Italia around 1960, this chest of drawers perfectly embodies the innovative spirit of Italian modernism of the time.

Made of walnut veneer with a warm and deep patina, the structure stands out for its sinuous and enveloping profile, with curved corners and chiselled details that betray extremely high executive quality.

The slightly rounded top and the connected sides give the piece of furniture a sculptural elegance and a visual dynamism that was unusual for the time.

The front is punctuated by four large and perfectly aligned drawers, embellished with original chromed metal handles, composed of vertical plates with double rings, which add a graphic and rhythmic note to the composition. The base, set back from the main body, gives visual lightness to the entire volume, creating a refined play of full and empty spaces.

Balanced proportions, noble materials and a coherent design vision make this piece of furniture not only a functional furnishing accessory, but a true work of art.

A rare piece in the chest of drawers version and currently unique on the market and therefore collectible, perfect for refined environments, designer residences or luxury contract spaces inspired by mid-century design.

Almost perfect general conditions as shown in the photographs even though it is over 60 years old.
