Description
Designed in the 1950s, this floating console by Giuseppe Scapinelli exemplifies the linear elegance and refinement that distinguish his Brazilian production. Crafted from richly veined Caviúna wood, the elongated form emphasizes horizontality and visual continuity.
The console features four drawers with brass handles, introducing a subtle metallic accent that complements the warmth of the wood. Originally part of a private residence in Curitiba, the piece has been meticulously refinished in Brazil to highlight the depth and movement of the grain.
Floating cabinetry was a modernist statement about space, circulation, and architectural clarity. This console reflects Scapinelli’s ability to merge Italian sensibility with Brazilian material richness in a restrained, sophisticated manner.
