ABV Borsani — a pair of sculptural armchairs, Italy, circa 1940.
Softly enveloping and beautifully restrained, these armchairs embody the quiet sophistication of early Italian modernism.

The generous, rounded silhouette is balanced by remarkably precise proportions: broad upholstered arms, a floating seat and a compact architectural body resting on discreet feet.

Produced by ABV — Arredamenti Borsani Varedo, the celebrated Borsani workshop near Milan.

A pair that speaks less through ornament than through form, material and presence.

Gianfranco Frattini coffee table for Cassina, Italy, 1960,

Designed for Cassina in the mid-1960s, this rare coffee table distills those ideas into a singular form. A substantial circular glass top appears to float above a solid wooden base, while the open central compartment transforms a functional gesture into the defining architectural element of the piece.

Elegant in its restraint and remarkable in its construction, it reflects Frattini’s enduring fascination with craftsmanship, proportion, and the expressive possibilities of wood.

Italy, c. 1965.

#1930

Gianfranco Frattini for Cassina
Italy, circa 1965

A sculptural bentwood coffee table with three turned legs and a floating cut-glass top — an elegant example of Frattini’s ability to merge architectural precision with warmth and fluidity.

Born in Padua and trained at the Politecnico di Milano, Frattini worked in the studio of Gio Ponti before opening his own practice in the 1950s. Like many of the great figures of postwar Italian design, he approached furniture as an extension of architecture: attentive, measured, and deeply connected to everyday life.

“L’attenzione determina gesti d’amore.”
Attention determines gestures of love.

That philosophy runs quietly through Frattini’s work — objects designed not only to function beautifully, but to live beautifully with others.
