Bar cabinet with hand-engraved tiles by Vittorio Dassi, 1950s











Bar cabinet with hand-engraved tiles by Vittorio Dassi, 1950s. Vittorio Dassi's furniture (1893-1973), made in the 1940s and 1950s, is distinguished by the choice of fine woods such as rosewood, cherry, ash and walnut, often decorated with inlaid panels and crystals signed by great glass masters. Elegant in design without losing functional quality, his furniture can be compared to the refined style of Gio Ponti, to whom Vittorio was linked by important collaborations after taking over from his father in the Dassi Mobili Moderni company in Lissone. One of the factory's most important projects was the creation of furniture for the rooms of the Royal Hotel in Naples, designed by Ponti in the mid-1950s, a period that marked Dassi's turn towards more schematic forms and teak wood for the production of modular furniture.
