Manufacture

The shaped Ampezzo sideboard is made and painted by hand in the Vangelista Mobili 1960 high-end cabinet-making workshop. The structure is made with vertical planks of solid fir glued and shaped to obtain the desired shape; the planks are glued together with a T-joint and the structure is smoothed so as to smooth out all the edges and precisely define the rounded shape. The drawers are assembled with handcrafted dovetail joints. Before proceeding with the decorations, the sideboard is brushed, in order to highlight the grain of the fir wood, and finally painted with polychrome colors based on water tempera.
