Buffet mural by Paolo Buffa for Serafino Arrighi, Italy, 1950s.

Wall buffet by Paolo Buffa for Serafino Arrighi, Italy, 1950s. Wall buffet by Paolo Buffa, Italy, 1950s. This compact piece features a façade with vertical reliefs, rounded side panels, a glass top, and a brass key detail. The piece was made by the cabinetmaker Serafino Arrighi, who closely collaborated with Buffa and was particularly known for his finely executed ribbed wood panels. The relief of the front doors is a defining element. The vertical ribs introduce depth and rhythm, contrasting with the surrounding smooth surfaces. This type of ribbing is characteristic of Arrighi's workshop and appears in several significant commissions from Buffa during the same period. The small brass key is another typical detail of Buffa, functional yet decorative, and immediately recognizable in his work. The proportions are carefully studied. The rounded side elements soften the overall geometry, while the glass top adds lightness and allows the woodwork to remain visually dominant. Exposed to variations in daylight, the ribbed surface creates subtle variations in shadow and reflection, giving the piece a discreet yet constant presence on the wall. This buffet clearly demonstrates the amount of work and craftsmanship involved in its creation. It is a refined example of post-war Italian craftsmanship, combining architectural clarity and tactile detail, and a choice addition to a serious collection of Paolo Buffa.
