Its sculptural presence, moreover, fully demonstrates the pioneering spirit that characterized the aesthetic research of the Brianza d'autore of that period. However, the authentic charm of time gives the surface an even deeper character. It is not just any "vintage" object: it is Italian design culture. The signature of Osvaldo Borsani: a name that anticipated modern Italian design Osvaldo Borsani was, consequently, one of the most influential architect-designers of the twentieth century, and even one of the very few who succeeded in transforming the family artisan workshop into an industrial research laboratory with an international scope. For example, even before the 1950s he was already experimenting with languages and relationships between volumes and materials with unusual courage. Therefore, buying one of his pieces of furniture means, in essence, owning a document of transition from "traditional" furniture to "industrial" furniture of authorship.
