Buffet made of solid walnut wood by Ferdinando Meccani, 1969

This very impressive sideboard, called Plato, is a creation by the renowned maestro Ferdinando Meccani. Meccani's philosophy revolves around a deep respect for Nature and the pure pursuit of integrating design and furniture construction in a sustainable manner. Entirely made of solid walnut, the Plato sideboard is a testament to Italian craftsmanship excellence. Designed by Ferdinando Meccani at the end of the 20th century, this piece reflects the architectural precision and sculptural sensitivity characteristic of Design/One. The sideboard features a stunning façade composed of offset panels of varying depths, creating a dynamic play of shadow and light. Both functional and sculptural, the design combines artisanal craftsmanship with an abstract and geometric aesthetic. Meccani was ahead of his time and embraced the beautiful adage that says: "to beautify the environment in which we live.".
