Midcentury Modern Zebra Walnut Sideboard with Drawers, La Permanente Cantu

Design Sideboard with Drawers, Permanente Mobili Cantu Crafted by Consorzio Mobili Cantù, Italy, in the 1960s, the piece features seven drawers made of solid walnut, each with a sleek white formica front, creating an eye-catching contrast between the wood and the modern material. In addition to the drawers, there is one large cozy flap drawer that adds extra storage and a touch of functionality. The chest is veneered in high-quality zebra walnut, a striking wood that adds texture and depth to the overall design. The iron and brass legs provide a sturdy yet elegant foundation, perfectly complementing the refined woodwork. Fully restored to its original condition, the piece remains in really good condition with only minor signs of wear and age, making it a rare and well-preserved example of Italian mid-century modern furniture. The Consorzio Mobili Cantù was composed of several smaller furniture manufacturers and artisans that came together to produce innovative, high-quality pieces contributing to the development of Mid-Century Modern and Italian Modernist styles, producing everything by often using high quality materials as well as innovative techniques. The collaborations between skilled iconic designers (Gio Ponti, Parisi, Bellini, etc) and the company's talented craftsmen led to timeless pieces that continue to be highly regarded by collectors and enthusiasts today.
