CELOTTO - NINO GOBBIS - Panel - Wood

Q.039. 23x76 cm

This decorative panel is an iconic piece of Italian industrial design from the 1950s and 1960s, created by Nino Gobbis for the Mobilificio Arreda of Celotto in Montebelluna.

The panel features a refined carved relief decoration, typical of the period's organic aesthetic. The composition is dominated by stylized floral motifs: a four-petaled flower at the top and lanceolate leaves that intertwine along the surface, treated with gold leaf, which enhances its three-dimensional depth.

In short, it is a carved and decorated solid beechwood panel that reproduces the look of molten metal, and it is part of the ORO series that was intended to be used for a furniture collection in which the panels stood out against the minimalism of mahogany furniture.

The piece is in perfect condition despite its 70 years.
Gobbis collaborated with Arreda di Celotto, which in the 1950s produced furnishings designed by famous Italian architects and designers such as Piero Celotto, commissioning decorative panels from artists like Nino Gobbis to furnish bourgeois houses, offices, hotels, or cruise ships.

Nino Gobbis, an Italian painter and etcher active in the mid-twentieth century, whose figure is deeply linked to the world of signature interior design and Treviso’s mid-century modern design of the 1950s and 1960s.
