The structure is formed by two continuous lateral panels that taper toward the floor, functioning as both sides and legs in a single uninterrupted plane, with softly rounded top corners. Each cabinet door is faced in maple burl veneer, framed by a contrasting light wood border that sits proud of the sapele surround, with the interior lined in the same light wood, creating a clear dialogue between the two materials. A continuous band runs from leg to leg along the base, reinforcing the coherence of the overall silhouette, while tapered, concave brass knob handles balance restraint with a quiet sense of luxury.\u003cbr\u003ePaolo Buffa's furniture is frequently recognized for this pairing of architectural discipline with refined material contrast, and the maple burl detailing set against sapele seen on these nightstands reflects a combination closely associated with his 1950s output.

Two sliding doors run along a recessed aluminum channel set into the underside of the top edge, allowing the case to open without requiring swing clearance. Behind them, a fixed shelf divides the storage space, finished in a deeper taupe tone against the paler exterior casework. Every visible edge, from the shelf returns to the door channel, is worked with the same close attention to joinery, and the base is formed by two flat vertical legs set well in from the ends, giving the whole composition a sense of weightlessness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece belongs to Mangiarotti's broader investigation, carried out across several manufacturers through the 1960s, into modular case furniture whose function could be reconfigured by the owner, combining shelving, storage and display within a single volume rather than assigning each to a separate object. Working with Poltronova, Mangiarotti brought the same structural rigor he applied to his architectural work, treating the cantilevered top and the exposed support fins as load-bearing elements left visible rather than concealed. The sliding door mechanism and the open end shelves reflect the same priority, favoring flexibility of use over a fixed, closed silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Modernab ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57563115454837,"sku":null,"price":14000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/5688\/7157\/files\/raw-077-1400x.jpg?v=1789044591"},{"product_id":"gio-ponti-ribbed-sideboard-italy-1940s","title":"Gio Ponti Ribbed Sideboard, Italy, 1940s","description":"\u003cp\u003eGio Ponti ribbed sideboard, wood and brass, Italy, 1940s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo pairs of bi-fold doors front this sideboard, each cut the full height with fine vertical ribbing and hung on a concealed brass hinge mechanism.
