Story
Reflective volumes from the Libra family
Libra is a storage unit with rational, reflective volumes, inspired by the Libra family of coffee tables and dining tables, which share the same foot design. Giampiero Tagliaferri designed the sideboard for Minotti.
A recessed glass top over a lacquered frame
The top is recessed glass back-painted in the same shades as the glossy lacquered frame, which enhances the reflective and three-dimensional effect of the piece. The base combines tubular feet with a metal plate, and the sideboard is made in versions for living and dining spaces.
