Franco Albini for Poggi 'MB15' Large Sideboard in Teak

Franco Albini for Poggi, sideboard, model 'MB15', teak, Italy, 1957

This well-designed, sizable sideboard by Franco Albini for Poggi, created in 1950s Italy, epitomizes mid-century modern design sensibility with its sheer form and clean lines. Four door panels structure the front, each embellished with skillfully carved recessed handles that add a distinctive touch. The base is composed of tapered slim legs that imbue the piece with an open and elegant look. These details, combined with the reserved design, highlight the radiance and visual qualities of the wood, making it a remarkable example of Albini's design prowess.

Born in 1905, Franco Albini (1905-1977) was an Italian Neo-Rationalist architect, designer, and university lecturer in design. He was noted for merging together modern furniture design with traditional Italian artisanship.
