A dry bar attributable to Willy Rizzo, Italy, 1970s
A striking 1970s Italian dry bar attributable to Willy Rizzo, accompanied by a pair of matching brass and suede bar stools. The bar features a sculptural curved front detail in brushed brass, cream lacquered body, and a smoked mirror top, embodying the glamorous and architectural aesthetic associated with high-end Italian design of the era. The dramatic circular cut-out element creates a bold visual statement while maintaining functional storage with internal shelving and a mirrored compartment.
The matching stools feature polished brass pedestal bases with circular footrests and upholstered suede seats and backs, perfectly complementing the cabinet’s warm neutral palette and metallic accents. A sophisticated and highly decorative set, ideal for a statement interior.
