This beautiful and iconic side table, designed by the renowned Italian designer Osvaldo Borsani and manufactured by his company ABV Varredo in 1950, is a rare and exquisite piece of design history. ABV (Arredamento Borsani Varredo), located in Varedo, Northern Italy, was Borsani’s personal design studio, where he crafted exceptional custom furniture pieces, and this side table is a perfect example of his artistry and craftsmanship.
The table is made of solid brass, showcasing the refined material choice Borsani was known for. Its original black mirrored glass top adds a touch of elegance and sophistication, enhancing the overall allure of the piece. The black glass, which is no longer in production, is particularly special, further contributing to the table’s rarity and uniqueness. While the glass shows only subtle surface wear due to its age, it has beautifully preserved the table’s vintage charm.
A striking feature of the design is the brass sphere in the center of the base, which is sculpted with delicate scooped-out circles. This element is not merely decorative but demonstrates the meticulous craftsmanship involved in molding solid brass into such a detailed and refined shape. The solid brass round base offers both weight and stability to the table, ensuring its durability while contributing to the aesthetic balance of the piece.
Due to its small size, this table is both versatile and functional, easily moved and placed as a side table wherever needed. It can adapt to various settings, making it perfect for a range of occasions and environments. This rare side table, produced on a bespoke, limited basis for individual customers, is a collector’s item that embodies the artistry and innovation of Borsani. Its combination of exquisite design, high-quality materials, and historical significance makes it an exceptional piece that is not easy to find. It is truly a prized addition for any design enthusiast or collector.
