About the Item

An exceptional Italian Mid-Century floating wall-mounted sideboard designed by Vittorio Dassi and produced in Italy during the 1950s. Combining architectural elegance with ingenious functionality, this rare suspended composition exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and sculptural sophistication that distinguish Dassi’s finest furniture designs. The sideboard is composed of a continuous wall panel supporting two asymmetrically arranged suspended storage units. On the left, a single floating drawer is surmounted by an elegant shelf fitted with its original ivory back-painted glass top, while on the right, a larger two-drawer cabinet provides generous concealed storage. The asymmetrical composition creates a strong sense of movement and architectural balance. The two suspended volumes appear to float against the wall, producing a visually light yet highly sculptural effect characteristic of sophisticated Italian design of the period. Crafted in beautifully figured fine hardwood veneer, the piece displays warm honey-toned hues and lively natural grain that enhance its rounded edges, softened corners, and flowing profiles. The cabinetry is distinguished by carefully shaped drawer fronts with integrated recessed pulls, eliminating the need for applied hardware and preserving the purity of the horizontal composition. A particularly significant feature is the original period ivory back-painted glass top, preserved in excellent condition. Its luminous surface creates a refined contrast with the warmth of the wood while remaining fully consistent with the original 1950s design. The survival of this original glass element adds considerable authenticity and collectible value to the piece. The sideboard has undergone a complete professional restoration. All wooden surfaces have been carefully refinished and hand-polished, respecting the original construction and enhancing the depth and natural character of the veneer. The original back-painted glass has been preserved. Elegant, functional, and highly versatile, this rare Dassi sideboard can be used as a floating credenza, entrance console, dressing cabinet, or sculptural storage element. Its suspended construction, asymmetric layout, and refined detailing make it an outstanding example of Italian Mid-Century Modern design. Condition Professionally restored. All wooden surfaces have been carefully refinished and hand-polished. Original ivory back-painted glass top preserved. Excellent vintage condition with minor age-appropriate wear consistent with its period.

Vittorio Dassi

Collectors of vintage mid-century modern furniture will find that the work of Italian designer Vittorio Dassi is elegant and sculptural, brimming with all of the clean, angular lines and pleasing symmetry associated with the best of the era’s offerings. While Dassi's name is less known to enthusiasts of the period’s furniture than the likes of Ico and Luisa Parisi, Franco Albini and other leading lights of mid-20th century Italian design, his case pieces, tables and seating will prove no less worthy of hunting down at today's flea markets and online marketplaces.

Wood was Dassi's preferred material — he favored rosewood, mahogany, walnut and other species for his covetable desks and wall units, which frequently featured decorative flourishes such as glass inlays, while a sideboard or buffet’s fronts might boast hand-carved geometric cutouts in lieu of brass door handles.

While little is known about Dassi's early life, it is believed that his career in furniture design began in 1940 at his family's company Dassi Mobili Moderni, in Lissone, Italy. Shortly thereafter, he took over managing the company from his father.

While Dassi produced dry bars and other case pieces during the 1950s that featured the motifs and ornament that are today attributed to the Art Deco movement, he created sumptuous mahogany nightstands topped with black glass and minimalist teak coffee tables that better represented the forward-looking spirit of mid-century modernism. His wall units of the era for Mobili Cantù are works of art — crafted in walnut and featuring birch veneers and high-gloss lacquer finishes as well as a single door front decorated with an abstract painting or otherwise provocative illustration, these structures would undoubtedly prove quite impressive to the likes of Poul Cadovius and George Nelson.

Dassi often collaborated with Italian architect, editor and furniture designer Gio Ponti. Ponti designed thousands of furnishings and products — from cabinets, mirrors and chairs to ceramics and coffeemakers — and his buildings, including the brawny Pirelli Tower (1956) in his native Milan, and the castle-like Denver Art Museum (1971), were erected in 14 countries. A collaboration between Dassi and Ponti of note is the pair’s work on the Hotel Royal in Naples — Ponti was commissioned to design the hotel and he partnered with Dassi to design the hotel's furnishings.

Today, Dassi Mobili Moderni S.R.L. is still in operation in Lissone.
