ProfessionalProduct description
This exceptional Italian sideboard, designed by Luigi Saccardo for Gasparello in the late 1970s–1980s, is part of the iconic “Seven” collection — a celebrated series known for its sculptural lines, refined craftsmanship, and timeless modern elegance.
Executed in luxurious high-gloss burled maple, also known as bird’s-eye maple, the piece showcases an extraordinary natural grain pattern that interacts beautifully with light, creating depth, warmth, and a sophisticated visual movement across the entire surface. The lacquered finish further enhances the richness of the wood, emphasizing the quality typical of high-end Italian furniture production of the period.
Characterized by its elongated silhouette, softly curved corners, and balanced architectural proportions, the sideboard embodies the harmonious blend of functionality and aesthetics that defined Italian modern design during the 1970s and 1980s. The integrated circular wooden handles subtly project from the doors, adding a distinctive sculptural detail while preserving the clean and minimalist appearance of the piece.
The interior is fully veneered in matching burled maple and offers generous storage capacity with well-organized compartments, making this sideboard both a highly decorative statement piece and an exceptionally functional storage cabinet for dining rooms, living spaces, or sophisticated contemporary interiors.
Its fluid lines and soft-edged form allow it to integrate effortlessly into a variety of interiors, from mid-century modern and contemporary spaces to eclectic and vintage-inspired environments.
An elegant and collectible example of Italian postmodern and late modernist furniture design, this rare Gasparello sideboard reflects the refined craftsmanship and material research that made Italian furniture production of the era internationally admired.
Published in Domus Magazine, June 1980, page 43.
Please note that this piece is in very good vintage condition. Minor signs of age and use may be present, consistent with time and authenticity, but they do not affect the functionality or overall beauty of the item.
