About the Item
A beautiful example of mid-century Brazilian design, this "Whisky" Buffet by Giuseppe Scapinelli embodies a harmonious blend of functionality and sculptural artistry. Crafted from richly hued caviúna hardwood, the piece exemplifies Scapinelli's masterful approach to organic modernism, marked by fluid lines and a seamless interplay between materials and form.
The buffet's central marquetry panel serves as its focal point, featuring an intricate inlaid depiction of cocktail glasses and a decanter labeled "Whisky." This artistic touch highlights the delicate marquetry work, achieved through traditional hand-cut techniques and reflects Scapinelli's attention to detail and mastery of woodworking.
The symmetrical doors on either side of the central panel showcase meticulously book-matched veneers, creating a striking visual rhythm through their mirrored grain patterns. Behind the doors, well-appointed storage spaces with adjustable shelves provide both elegance and utility. The lower drawers, accented with discreet brass pulls, further enhance the piece's refined aesthetic.
The buffet is elevated on Scapinelli's signature splayed legs, which curve gracefully to form an interwoven base. This structural innovation not only supports the expansive top but also lends the piece an almost kinetic energy, as if poised to leap into motion. The brass-capped feet add a subtle note of luxury, complementing the warm tones of the wood.
Marked by its original paper label, the piece bears testament to its provenance and authenticity. The overall condition remains excellent, with a rich patina that enhances its historical character while preserving its structural integrity.
This Whisky Buffet encapsulates the essence of Brazilian mid-century modernism — elegant, bold, and deeply rooted in artisanal craftsmanship. A rare and collectible piece, it stands as a testament to Giuseppe Scapinelli's enduring legacy in the world of design.
