Overview
Important sideboard designed by Willy Rizzo for Mario Sabot in the 1970s, a perfect emblem of the sophisticated and cinematic aesthetic that made Willy Rizzo one of the most recognisable figures of international glamour design of the 20th century.
Description
Published in the historic “Sabot Collection Design,” this sideboard fully embodies Willy Rizzo’s design vision: rigorous lines and minimalist architecture combined with precious materials and luminous surfaces capable of transforming a storage piece into a true scenographic presence.
The monolithic structure, long and perfectly proportioned, is finished in a warm ivory lacquer, a soft and elegant tone that interacts beautifully with the golden metallic profiles and polished brass details defining the geometry of the piece.
The overall effect is extremely refined and typically “Rizzo”: essential in form yet deeply luxurious in visual perception.
Design & Function
The metallic profiles frame the sideboard like subtle architectural lines, creating continuous reflections that change with light and visually lighten the important volume of the piece.
The interior composition is designed with remarkable functional balance: four side doors conceal large storage compartments with internal shelves, while the central block of drawers introduces an elegant geometric rhythm perfectly integrated into the front design.
The purity of the surfaces is particularly striking, intentionally free of visible handles, emphasizing the minimal and architectural character of the project.
The aesthetic of the sideboard surprisingly anticipates much contemporary luxury design, especially in the contrast between matte monochromatic surfaces and glossy metallic details.
Materials & Aesthetic
The piece recalls the high society interiors of Milan, Paris, and Beverly Hills during the 1970s, worlds that Willy Rizzo knew intimately and translated into furniture through an immediately recognizable language.
Its ability to remain visually powerful across decades is precisely what makes Willy Rizzo furniture among the most sought-after examples of collectible Italian design.
