The present drinks cabinet conveys all the lively enthusiasm of early 1950s Italy. In this period Osvaldo Borsani, a principal proponent of the Art Deco style in Italy, and Lucio Fontana, founder of the Spatialist movement, made an unlikely but dynamic pair when they collaborated on a number of projects. The present lot is an example of how they typically cooperated, with Borsani producing the furniture onto which Fontana would contribute surface decorations. Here, the double-lobed front is mounted with a pair of fantastical baroque bronze handles, the shaped doors slide apart to reveal a mirrored and illuminated interior decorated by Fontana.
