About the Item

This exceptional piece represents the spirit of Italian design experimentation from the 1970s, a period when furniture was not only functional but also conceptual. Designed by Silvana Arcelli Montanari for the renowned Italian manufacturer Tonelli, the “Il Cerniera” cabinet is a striking example of innovation, craftsmanship, and forward-thinking design. The name, meaning “The Hinge,” reflects the core concept of the piece: movement, transformation, and intelligent construction. Created during Tonelli’s most progressive design years, this cabinet was conceived as part of a complete furniture program that challenged traditional forms. Today, it stands as a rare and collectible design object that brings history, character, and sophistication into any interior.
