Paolo Buffa Large Highboard or Wardrobe in Cherry 1940s

This rare wardrobe exudes subtle decorative charm and is the work of the talented Italian designer and architect Paolo Buffa (1903–1970). The front of this remarkable piece showcases an artistic interplay of vertical and horizontal slats, layered to create a striking composition reminiscent of a woven basket. Crafted from cherrywood, the wardrobe embraces a richly textured surface with natural grain patterns and a beautifully aged patina. This exceptionally poetic wardrobe emerged from an experimental period of design, when various styles and philosophies converged to define a new aesthetic.
