Aldo Tura - Aldo Tura - Console table (1) - Consolle

Superb console entirely covered in tobacco colored parchment made and designed by Aldo Tura in Milan in the 1960s. The object is in perfect condition as shown in the photographs, with some tiny signs of aging given its 60 years of life, perfect lacquer, brass feet and profile in perfect condition. Dimensions: 140 x 40 x 75 height. Tura is one of the Italian talents of the Mid-Century. In the post-war years, while many producers were intent on adapting their production methods aiming for mass production, Tura remained dedicated to slow and traditional craftsmanship. It favors intricate, complex shapes and labor-intensive processes, which cannot be replicated in a large-scale factory system. As a result, the number of Tura's works available on the vintage market remains limited. Today, Tura's company continues to produce luxury and Deco-esque furniture in Lombardy, but much information about Tura himself has been lost. The Brooklynn Museum in New York owns several designs by Tura that were originally exhibited between 1950 and 1953 in the traveling exhibition Italy at Work: Her Renaissance in Design Today.
