The design of the furniture produced between the 30's and 80's fits perfectly in today's homes. The shapes, colors and materials of the mid-century furniture create a retro atmosphere bringing a unique and particular taste. The bar cabinet in tender is characterized by the rounded geometric volumes and the formal purity of its structure, very much in line with the Italian design of the 50's. This structure stands out thanks to the bambi type stipe legs that support it with golden brass applications. The prismatic main body opens with a double door that hides mirrored surfaces inside. Two drawers complete the design. Both the two drawers and the two doors have brass handles. The doors also have locks.

Birdseye Maple wood comes from North America. Its English translation would be "bird's eye maple" (sometimes written as bird's eye) because the small knots in the grain resemble small bird's eyes. According to studies, the figure is due to unfavorable growing conditions for the tree. The tree tries to initiate numerous new shoots to get more sunlight, but with poor growing conditions, the new shoots are aborted and then a series of small knots remain.
