Tacchini 500/4 Wooden sideboard with tambour doors

Still considered one of the most important collections today.‎ characteristics and completeness never designed by Frattini, Serie 500 was born from a careful observation of the needs of a new way of living, new functions filtered by the aesthetic sensitivity of the designer and by his historical memory.‎ Serie 500 writes another page of the collaboration with the Gianfranco Frattini Archive and a new chapter in the history of Tacchini: storage furniture.‎ Traditional elements are reinterpreted in new functions.‎ Unexpected compartments open the doors of memory and recall the warmth of home.‎ The two pieces re-edited by Tacchini, the model 500/3 sideboard with three container elements with shutters, and the model 500/4 high sideboard with two plus two shutters, were designed following a concept of modularity ante litteram, which begins with an element bench - a curved wooden base strengthened by a T-shaped element that makes it non-deformable - and then involves the addition of various modules in length and height.‎ Further info from manufacturer on 500/4 Tacchini
