Rare Set of nightstands by Luciano Frigerio 'Desirè' with brass relief, Ita

Elevate your bedroom or living space with this exceptionally rare, matching pair of 'Desirée' nightstands, designed by the iconic Italian architect and artist Luciano Frigerio during the 1970s. This exquisite duo represents the pinnacle of Mid-Century Italian luxury and Brutalist glamour. Finding a complete, authentic set of these bedside cabinets in such beautiful condition is an incredible opportunity for discerning collectors and high-end interior designers alike. Luciano Frigerio was a visionary force in Italian design, celebrated for treating furniture production as a fine art. Operating out of his famous workshop "Frigerio di Desio" in the Brianza region, he pioneered the concept of "mobile scultura" or sculpture furniture. Frigerio chose to move away from industrial mass production, focusing instead on architectural forms combined with rich, tactile materials. This magnificent pair perfectly embodies his signature philosophy, making them highly coveted objects on the international mid-century market. The aesthetic impact of these nightstands lies in their masterful contrast of materials and textures. Each cabinet is beautifully wrapped in a deeply figured, dark-grained veneer that highlights the natural luxury of the timber. Stretching across the front of the single doors is a heavy, continuous brass relief panel. This hammered, highly textured Brutalist element captures and plays with ambient light, giving the set an undeniably dramatic character. The rich wood and sculptural brass are elegantly framed by a rounded matte black trim at the top and anchored by a monumental, heavy brass-plated plinth at the base.
