Sideboard by Jean Gillon for Italma, Brazil, 1960s

Brazilian rosewood patchwork top. The left side has three drawers and the right side has two sliding doors. The sideboard has been carefully restored by Prioul furniture. It is in excellent condition, the top has been completely re-varnished. There are still some minor traces of use. The locks have been replaced by wooden inserts, in the original spirit of the piece of furniture. The architect and designer Jean Gillon, born in Romania, moved to Brazil in 1956. He founded Italma Woodart and created numerous pieces of furniture, mainly lounge chairs and sofas that he exported all over the world. A large desk (200x100cm) from the same series will also be available soon.
