Modern Dassi 1960s desk

Description

The furniture by Vittorio Dassi (1893-1973), made in the 40s and 50s, are distinguished by the choice of precious woods such as rosewood, cherry, ash and walnut, often decorated with inlaid panels and crystals signed by great glass masters. Elegant in design without losing functional quality, its furnishings can be compared to the refined style of Gio Ponti, to whom Vittorio was linked by important collaborations after taking over from his father in the Dassi Mobili Moderni company in Lissone. In fact, one of the most important projects of the factory is the creation of the furniture in the rooms of the Royal Hotel in Naples, designed by Ponti in the mid-1950s, a period that marked Dassi’s turning point towards more schematic forms and teak wood. for the production of modular furniture.
