RECENT ACQUISITIONS - 1st September
A stunning vintage cocktail bar finished in alcantara leather and steel, designed and engineered by Willy Rizzo in the 1970s. His glamorous bars are amongst the most sought after objects from his work. The example on offer was realised in the 1970s and is in superb condition. The bar is equipped with the original fridge and freezer compartment for ice blocks and handy storage cupboards with glass doors. The set comprises of a counter with mirrored glass top, chromed sides and front panels in suede.
The back piece is equipped with illuminated shelves with alcantara backing giving a warm ambient light when switched on. It is a real eye-catcher, a very elegant item of furniture for any living room “man cave” giving a touch of mid-century sophistication. The shelving unit has obviously been created to stand in the corner of a room with the front bar just in front of it as seen in the photographs but it can in fact be arranged in a number of different alternatives depending on where the user wishes the access point to be and the space available.
