Valentine
sideboard
“It’s called ‘Valentine’ and it was designed to be used everywhere except in the office. Its purpose is not to evoke the monotony of the office hours, but to keep company with amateur poets, who woo muses on Sundays in the countryside or to decorate a table in a studio, as an object of lively color.” Abitare Magazine, 1969.
Valentine sideboard: a stunning tribute to Ettore Sottsass. Featuring vibrant Sottsass veneer , iconic designs and a fiery red interior reminiscent of the Valentine typewriter. The pièce de résistance? Luxurious black stained oak handles with aged brushed brass details and fringe tassels, adding both elegance and functionality. Hand-carved black stained legs provide a mix of texture, grounding the piece with artisanal craftsmanship. Celebrate Sottsass’s legacy with this masterpiece of artistry and innovation.
