About the Item

Sideboard in walnut wood from the Scaligera series designed by Franco Poli for Bernini in the 1980s. The sideboard presents doors with inner shelves, drawers, and flap-opening compartments on the top. The high carpentry on which this sideboard was produced, is evident in every little detail of this magnificent piece of furniture, from the beautiful detail of the handles drawers to the peculiar curved central door. The manufacturer's logo is impressed on the sideboard surface. The designer Franco Poli was born in Padua in 1950. He studied art and architecture in Venice, where he met Isamu Noguchi and Buckminster Fuller. At the age of 23, his first industrial design was produced. In 1977 he worked with Bernini s.p.a., becoming artistic director from 1979 to 2009. In the eighties, he opened a studio in Venice and was called a visiting professor to the U.I.A [International University of Art] in Florence and the Milan Polytechnic. From 1989 to 1996 he held the DESIGN course at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice. In the nineties, he collaborated in the foundation of numerous regional associations, a transnational Design school in Reggio Calabria, and the national coordination of the C.N.A.D. Design Associations in Rome. In recent years he has held several meetings on Design in S. Paolo, Tokyo, Quito, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Miami, Moscow, New York, Kiev, London, and Shanghai. His products are in the permanent collections of The Denver Art Museum, the “Fonds National d’Art Contemporain” in Paris, the “Magma Museum” in Roccamonfina, the “Farnesina Design” and the Triennale Design Museum in Milan. He has won the “Good Design Award” of the Chicago Athenaeum three times, in 2007 he won the “DesignX, Australian Award” and in 2008 was awarded an Honourable Mention at the XXI Compasso D’Oro. From 2007 to 2010 he furnished the reception areas at the Venice Biennale of Art and Architecture. He has exhibited at the Royal College of Art “Spectrum” exhibition, “Masterworks, Italian Design 1960-1994″ at the Museum of Denver, the exhibition “Dolce Stilnovo, Domestic Landscape in Contemporary Italy” at the Kaohsiung Museum in Taipei, and the “First Beijing International Design Triennial”. He currently lives and works in Verona.
