This rare and elegant dry bar, designed by the iconic Italian architect and designer Osvaldo Borsani in the 1940s, is a testament to the timeless artistry of mid-century modern furniture. Crafted with jatoba veneer (a hardwood prized for its durability and rich, warm tones), this piece exudes sophistication and luxury.
The bar is crowned with a sleek black glass top, providing a striking contrast to the wood’s natural grain. The refined brass details, from the hardware to the base trim, add a touch of opulence, while the uniquely sculpted front panels draw the eye with their geometric precision and texture. Open its beautifully designed doors to reveal a gleaming interior, complete with glass shelving and built-in features for storing fine spirits and barware.
Why This Piece Stands Out:
1. Authenticity & Heritage: Designed by Osvaldo Borsani, a pivotal figure in the history of Italian design, this bar is more than a piece of furniture—it’s a collector’s item.
2. Function Meets Form: Combining artistic craftsmanship with practical functionality, this dry bar serves as both a storage solution and a statement piece for any interior.
3. Exquisite Materials: The use of jatoba veneer, brass accents, and black glass reflects the meticulous attention to detail and high standards of mid-century Italian design.
This 1940s dry bar is not just a functional piece—it is a rare opportunity to own a piece of design history. Whether displayed in a modern, eclectic, or vintage-inspired setting, this bar will elevate any space with its unparalleled charm and timeless appeal.
Act quickly to secure this masterpiece, as items by Osvaldo Borsani are highly coveted and rarely come to market. Don’t miss the chance to add this extraordinary piece to your collection.
