1960s Claudio Salocchi Bar Unit, Aluminium, White Lacquer for Sormani, Italy





















The whole idea of the Ellisse collection was to use extruded aluminum as main feature: three extruded pieces to form a whole series of high class containers used as bar units, chests of drawers and tilt-door wall-mounted sideboards This double sided bar unit is a clear example of how industrial design was conceived in 1967, the vault of the space age. The block is two-side and has one lower unit, with four aluminum drawers on one side and four on the opposite. A perfect highlight for your lounge, sitting or dining room. The upper side has a tilt door on front and back, with a brake and a magnet. Inside each compartment, a movable, H-shaped shelving unit in HPL-like material. The drawers in the lower part (with upper and lower side in white lacquered wood and sides in aluminum) have aluminum fronts and HPL and wooden sides. The upper part has aluminum sides and the rest is white mat lacquered wood. The full size in cm is height 100 x 93 x 93 (in inches height 39" 3/8 x 36" 39/64 x 36" 39/64). Lower container is on castors and can be moved around the room. The piece can be divided in two parts: upper and lower. In this case, the lower part would need extra feet). It is usually best displayed in the middle of a room or to divide the dining area from the living room. It is in perfect condition. Because of the characteristic of the materials, the lower drawers are a little hard to pull. The piece comes with a "Certificate of Authenticity" on original letterhead of the Manufacturer.
