About the Item

New Stock ✅ Mid Century Space Age Sideboard by Luigi Sormani Italian 1970s White and Walnut Vintage Retro MCM The ‘Space Age’ Sideboard by Italian designer Luigi Sormani from the 1970s, in white lacquered wood, walnut veneered wood and acrylic for Sormani Production. Featuring two large cupboards with four doors opened by beautiful white sculpted handles raised on a pair of tulip-shaped feet. All the white parts are made of ABS plastic, a very popular design material from the 1960s and 1970s. Dimensions Height - 82cm Width - 226cm Depth - 44cm Pioneering Italian furniture manufacturer ‘Sormani Production’ was founded in 1961 in Arosio by designer Luigi Sormani (1932-2017). The company was an early advocate for modernized production techniques, rejecting the slow, traditional craftsmanship and hardwoods that were so commonly used in the 1950s in favor of new materials like Rio Rosewood imported first by Sormani, lacquered walnut wood, and eventually plastic and aluminum in the 1960s and 1970s. Sormani debuted its first collection at the 1961 Milan Furniture Fair. This collection, known as ‘Fleeting’ by Studio ABC, was one of the first modular systems of wardrobes. In 1966, Sormani began producing thermoformed items, such as armchair shells, accessories, and occasional pieces with the use of molds, a technology derived from the automobile industry that, at the time, was only being used for electrical household appliances. The same year, Sormani became the first to experiment with extruded aluminum with the Ellisse Collection (1967) by Claudio Salocchi. During this time, Sormani also expanded into the US and Japanese markets, where they found instant success. In 1968, Sormani began a collaboration with architect-designer Gio Ponti, which resulted in a range of colorful, modular, multi-purpose storage units. In the early 1970s, Sormani continued to pride itself on its dedicated search for and analysis of different opportunities offered by the newest materials. With the establishment of an engineering division in the early 1980s, Sormani carried out several turnkey projects, operating on all levels of residential and contract engineering and architecture, including complete restoration and interior decoration of hotels, offices, banks, government buildings, universities, and the like. Over the years, Sormani collaborated with many important Italian designers including Joe Colombo, Gio Ponti, Carlo De Carli, Claudio Salocchi, Cesare Casati, Emanuele Ponzio, Nani Prina, Antonello Mosca, Fabrizio Cocchia, Gianni Songia, De Pas, D’Urbino, & Lomazzi Sormani was awarded the Silver Printing-Press prize for its advertising campaign in 1970, the Torchio d’Argento for the best advertising campaign with ATA advertising agency, the Mercurio d’oro for best company (both in 1971), and the Delfino d’oro premio Città di Sanremo in 1972. Sormani’s work can be found in many famous museums around the world including New York’s Museum of Modern Art and the National Museum of Modern Art in Kyoto.
