Archimede Sideboard by Hirozi Fukuoh for Gavina, 1962

The Archimede sideboard is an icon of mid-century modern design, designed by Hirozi Fukuoh for Gavina in the 1960s. Crafted from solid rosewood and veneered with rosewood veneer, it features a low, elongated structure with a warm finish and pronounced dark wood grain. The vertically slatted sliding wooden doors lend an elegant and discreet linear rhythm. The slender, flared legs in dark wood connect with curved upper armrests/irons, lending lightness and movement to the overall effect. The curved, sinuous upper edges create a dynamic contrast with the linearity of the central body. The clean, modular silhouette reflects the rational and sophisticated approach typical of the period. The piece exudes a sober elegance, ideal for contemporary or refined vintage settings. Overall, it combines storage functionality with a strong sculptural and artisanal presence.
