CARE INSTRUCTIONS
If cleaning is necessary use a soft damp cloth or a clean chamois leather well wrung out. Never add detergents as they can damage the surface. Brass elements should not be polished with metal cleaners which can harm the wood around them. Light burnishing while dusting should be enough to keep them bright. Although it is normal that the brass elements will get more patina. If desire, we can recomend the special brass cleaner.
ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Vittorio Dassi was born in 1893 in Lissone, near Milan. His furniture is extremely characteristic, combining the lightness of form and function. His projects are often almost sculptural, showing the amazing craftsmanship and hard work of the creator. Dassi not only designed furniture, but also produced it in his father's factory. His furniture can be combined with the refined style of Gio Ponti, with whom Vittorio was associated with an important collaboration after taking over the Dassi Mobili Moderni company in Lissone from his father. The most important projects of the factory include the creation of furniture for the rooms of the Royal Hotel in Naples, designed by Gio Ponti in the mid-1950s.
