Paolo Buffa
The furniture of the Milanese architect and designer Paolo Buffa (1930-1970) is mostly unique, based on the needs of its clients, and therefore always different. What unites them, in addition to the perfection of execution, is the neoclassical style absorbed during the training at the studio of Gio Ponti, in the '20s: the solid and elegant lines that Buffa applies to its furniture maintain a sort of continuity between '800 and '900, and characterize all his production. The use of precious woods, often decorated with thin grooves on the surfaces and brass ornaments, is another recognizable feature of his pieces. His most frequent collaboration was with the historic Milanese furniture manufacturer Quarti, with whom he designed various public and private projects for prestigious clients, such as the furnishing of the Mahroussa yacht by King Faruk of Egypt in 1951.
