“MG14” sideboard by Osvaldo Borsani for Tecno, 1960s

Model MG14 sideboard designed by Osvaldo Borsani for Tecno in the 1960s. A modular storage system reflecting the designer's exploration of functionality, compositional flexibility and formal rigour, characteristic of Tecno's production during this period. The structure develops horizontally through three wooden storage units, connected by metal hinges that allow the side modules to pivot in relation to the central cabinet. The latter features two lockable sliding doors concealing four internal drawers with shaped recessed pulls. The side units are open and fitted with shelves, providing easily accessible storage for books and objects. A long wooden top, supported by metal elements, extends across the entire composition, creating an additional display surface and emphasising the linear development of the piece. The contrast between the wooden surfaces, metal details and dark plinth defines a restrained aesthetic in which each component serves a precise structural purpose. The ability to rotate the side units allows the furniture to be arranged in different configurations, from a fully linear layout to a more articulated composition, reflecting a dynamic and versatile approach to interior furnishing. Condition: Good overall condition, minor signs of use. Dimensions: Length 320 cm – Depth 46 cm – Height 81.5 cm Ref.: M0888
