Postmodern "Brooklyn" sideboard by Luigi Gorgoni for Roche Bobois, 1980s

This postmodern “brooklyn” sideboard, designed by luigi gorgoni for roche bobois in the 1980s, is a prime example of the frasurbane style, blending urban design sensibilities with a touch of premiumness. Crafted from rich cherry wood, the sideboard supports a thick, clear glass shelf that adds an airy, modern touch to the piece. The design’s distinctive feature is the interplay between vertical and horizontal elements; the outer drawers act as strong vertical pillars, while the inner hinging drawers create a visual effect of floating horizontally between them. This juxtaposition not only provides a dynamic visual appeal but also showcases the thoughtful functionality of the sideboard, with ample storage space that is both accessible and discreet. The brooklyn sideboard’s aesthetic is a nod to the era’s fascination with geometric forms and innovative material combinations, making it a statement piece that is both timeless and indicative of its period.
