Historical notes and mobile curiosities

The original model of this charming weekly is located on the first floor of the hall of the Thiene Bonin Longare Palace, in Vicenza. We have restored the vintage weekly to bring it back to its original splendor, but given the uniqueness of this piece of art we decided to reproduce it following the same construction techniques of the time. The result was excellent: only with passion, knowledge and continuous study it is possible to create unique art furniture of high artisan value, a symbol of Made in Italy and of the production of Vangelista Mobili 1960.
