Sideboard “Seven” by Luigi Saccardo for Gasparello Small Version

This stunning sideboard is a fine example of Italian design from the 1970s-1980s, the brainchild of Luigi Saccardo for the Gasparello company.
The model, belonging to the “Seven” line, is distinguished by its sinuous and soft lines, a perfect balance between elegance and functionality.
The star material is Maple burl or “partridge eye,” with its glossy surface reflecting light and highlighting the fascinating natural wood grain, giving the furniture a warm and sophisticated look.
Its structure is lengthwise, with a solid and proportionate volume that conveys a feeling of stability and value.
The doors, with protruding handles, feature circular wood shapes, a choice that enhances the clean lines and essential character of the design. When opened, they reveal ample storage spaces entirely lined with briarwood, making the sideboard not only an object of great aesthetic value, but also extremely functional.
The striking detail is the curvature of the corners, a device that softens the geometric rigor and gives the furniture a cozy, refined air.
It is a piece that fits casually into modern and vintage settings, perfect for those seeking furniture that combines quality craftsmanship with the timeless beauty of Italian design.
Excellent overall condition, a few tiny signs of time that lend authenticity to the item, given its almost 50 years.
