Designed and executed in 1947, Ponti lacquered this form for an exhibition in 1973 that showcased works by several notable Italian designers, including Carlo De Carli and Vico Magistretti. The exceptional proportions and minimal form are representative of Ponti's masterworks. Two accordion doors conceal six drawers and a hanging mirror.
