CELOTTO - NINO GOBBIS - 控制台 - 木

Q.039. 23x76 cm

This decorative panel is an iconic piece of Italian industrial design from the 1950s and 1960s, made by Nino Gobbis for the Mobilificio Arreda of Celotto in Montebelluna.
The panel features a refined embossed carved decoration, typical of the period's organic aesthetics. The composition is dominated by stylized phytomorphic motifs: a four-petaled flower at the top and lanceolate leaves that intertwine across the surface, treated with gold leaf to enhance its three-dimensional depth.

In summary, it is a solid beech wood panel, carved and decorated, reproducing the effect of molten metal; it belongs to the ORO series, which was intended for a furniture collection where the panels emerged against the minimalism of mahogany furniture.

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

Nino Gobbis, Italian painter and engraver active in the mid-20th century, a figure deeply tied to the world of designer interiors and Trevigian modernism of the 1950s and 1960s.
