The story
Italian designer Aldo Tura was known for creating decorative pieces that often incorporated goatskin parchment, which creates the lovely dappled, tortoise-shell-like look seen here on this bar cabinet. The varnished goatskin parchment surface, in complex shades of brown, is offset by the shiny brass detailing on the hinges, handles, and decorative touches for a refined, quality feel. The interior, for stowing away glasses or other staples of your bar, features a mirrored back wall and glass shelves, a luxe contrast to the warm exterior. The boxy upper shape of the piece is roomy and robust and held on four tapered legs. This cabinet would make a beautiful focal piece for a living room with plenty of cozy, boozy ambiance.
About Aldo Tura
Aldo Tura (1909-1963) was an Italian designer and maker based in Milan, known for furniture clad in goatskin or parchment and finished under layers of coloured lacquer. His workshop produced bars, cabinets, tables and mirrors, often with brass details and surprising sculptural or trompe l'oeil elements. The firm continued after his death. Collectors look for pieces from the 1950s and 1960s with rich lacquer tones and well preserved original surfaces.
