Vittorio Dassi
The furniture of Vittorio Dassi (1893-1973), made in the '40s and '50s, is distinguished by the choice of fine woods such as rosewood, cherry, ash and walnut, often decorated with inlaid panels and crystals signed by great glass masters. Elegant in design without losing functional quality, its furnishings are comparable to the refined style of Gio Ponti, to whom Vittorio was linked by important collaborations after taking over from his father in the company Dassi Mobili Moderni in Lissone. Among the most important projects of the factory is in fact the realization of the furniture of the rooms of the Hotel Royal in Naples, designed by Ponti in the mid-'50s, a period that marks the turning point of Dassi towards more schematic forms and teak wood for the production of modular furniture.
