The Large Highboard or Wardrobe by Paolo Buffa, crafted in Italy during the 1940s, measures 219.5 cm wide, 49.7 cm deep, and 180 cm high, embodying a mid-century modern design with a poetic Italian flair. Made from chestnut wood, this rare piece features an artistic interplay of vertical and horizontal slats on the front, resembling a woven basket, with a wave-patterned base—a motif popular among Italian designers like Lina Bo Bardi. Elevated on slender legs, it showcases a richly textured surface with natural grain and a beautifully aged patina, offering ample storage through its four-door system, ideal for a bedroom or living space.
In good condition with minor wear, this wardrobe reflects Buffa’s fusion of neoclassical and Art Deco elements, capturing the experimental spirit of 1940s Italian design. Paolo Buffa (1903–1970), a renowned Italian designer, created pieces for an affluent clientele, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics, making this a collector’s item for those seeking a timeless piece of Italian design history with functional elegance.
